Lab 1: Flash Introduction (Static Map)




This map shows the amount of land that contains harvestable timber that is not within undevelopable wilderness.  I really wanted to map the percent of wilderness per state, but the amount is <1% for the majority of states, which would have led to a very depressing and uninteresting looking map.  The original source of this data comes from the North Central Research Station of the U.S. Forest Service, but I used an Excel file I found on The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis website: http://www.minneapolisfed. org/Research/data/specmap/us02-11.cfm.  The picture was taken from http://www.dentons.com/en/find-your-dentons-team/industry-sectors/forest-products-and-agribusiness.aspx.
