All done! I liked this map-maybe I'd decrease legend a bit and change hat icon colors for more contrast between the public and private schools.

Lab 10: Bivariate Map

This map process was very tedious for me. The result doesn't seem as good as my effort. Regardless, the map is unusual and does a nice job of highlighting density around NC metro areas (e.g., Charlotte & Research Triangle).

Obviously, the tilting the state "experiment" did not work and next time I would import better architecture (house) images for more professional display...

Onward to the final project!
