Choropleth Maps

A Cholorpleth map is a map that uses color to portray whatever variable it is describing. This map is describing acres used for hay protection in 2002. This map is a choropleth map because of its use of the different shades of green to portray the data of this map. The data on the map is the amount of different hay grown. I choose this map because the production of Hay interests me. And from the map we can tell the majority of hay is grown in the Midwest!
