Practicum: Vectorized Map

Missouri map from 1966

1. The hardest parts of this map were the specific county lines. Missouri is based heavily on rivers in densely populated rivers, so working with straight lines was not the easiest.
2. Significant railways/roads could help bring the map together, understand how densely populated areas remained supplied, and bring light to why there are so many small towns in Missouri.
3. I have more respect for historical mapping because comparing where modern artificial lines and structures are compared to the historical map took some time. I also realized how many counties lie between more populated areas that I would have never considered to even exist.
