Module 2: Mapping Florida's Trails by County


Sources: US County Boundaries — Opendatasoft , Florida Existing Trails | Koordinates

I used the County Boundaries data set to get Florida's counties names and geo coordinates. I used Florida existing trails (FET) dataset for trail data. I had to clean some of the data in R. The FET data was outdated and required new county names. After I standardized the county names across the two datasets, I was able to create my own data frame of countyName, latitude, longitude, trailCount, and mileage. I pushed the data into Tableau and applied them to a symbol map. Mileage is represented through a size scale on each point. Trail count is represented through a color scale on each point. 

For my next geographic map, I would like to add county borders. I would put a heat map effect to represent mileage. I think this will make the data easier to understand and quickly show the region where the most trails are. I think one thing that my graph does well is continuity. It is fairly simple with only two described elements.
