Generalization of Natural Features

Generalization is needed to some degree in all maps that are created. These two maps show a section Idaho, Oregon, and Washington rivers that have been generalized digitally. The bottom map is the original map for class. The top map is the improved map. I have moved the inset map to give the layout a better feeling of balance as well as labeling it as rivers of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. I fixed the scale bar by reprojecting the map and attached the scale bar to the appropriate image to avoid confusion. The north arrow was also made smaller in an attempt to make it less distracting. In addition, now that I have the maps posted, I should also frame the map to add some reference to the page in general.
