Map Project #7
EAST ASIA
due week of Apr 10th
Use the map in your Mapping Workbook on page 64.
1. Identify the following countries:
China
Japan
North Korea
South Korea
Mongolia
Taiwan
2. Identify the following cities:
(Must be accurate to within 100 miles and, if applicable, on the coast or
river)
Beijing
Guangzhou
Hong Kong
Kyoto
Nagasaki
Pyongyang
Seoul
Shanghai
Taipei
Tokyo
Ulan Bator
Xi'an
3. Use graduated symbols to express the population density of the above east Asian countries. An example of a map from your text that uses this cartographic convention is figure 3.18. I have created a template for you of the circles you will need to express the following population densities:
| country | 1999 pop. density persons per sq km |
| Mongolia | 1.6 |
| China | 132.8 |
| N Korea | 192.4 |
| Japan | 335.7 |
| S Korea | 470.3 |
| Taiwan | 616.7 |
| data from Mapping Workbook | |
Cut out the circles and trace them over the approximate middle of each country (some overlap is fine), then lightly shade in the circles. You may write in the actual population density number within the circle (or next to it in the case of Mongolia). Include a legend indicating what the circles represent.
Circle sizes were derived by creating circles with a
diameter of 1/100th the value of the individual data.
Use the map in your Mapping workbook on either page 65, 68 or 71 (your choice).
1. Identify the following landforms and areas. You may use colors or patterns to indicate a wide area or mountain range:
Altay Mountains

South China Sea

Sea of Japan
Huang He River
Chiang Jiang River
Mekong River

Instructions:
For this project you will use two maps. Complete the instructions under "cultural features" on one and those under "physical features" on the other. Do this as neatly as possible. Use a pen or pencil that enables you to write clearly. Staple the maps together and turn in to your TA.
These projects will be graded pass/fail on completeness, neatness and punctuality. It is worth 1% of your final grade. See the syllabus for information on do-overs and late projects.
