As I was making the many maps, I learned that there is a lot more to Minnesota than I once thought! For instance, some of the lakes have been named after Ojibwe tribes and the highways actually coordinate with the lakes and rivers. All in all, Minnesota is one big puzzle created by pieces we call railroads, different types of forests, interstates, highways, lakes, rivers and so much more, all fitting together in the most amazing way.
This project was both a positive and negative experience for me. The most difficult part was actually obtaining correct information from one map and transferring it to another! This was especially difficult when I tried to keep exact sizes and locations. I had a really good time making this map, however, because I learned so much. Creating each map helped me understand more about Minnesota, which allowed me to be able to create this website with more confidence. When it comes down to it, I think that's what it's all about!!
