Comparison of Simplification Methods

For this map I added the state boundaries for context in the locator map. I refined the line weights to match the “Zoom In “ map. I selected another part of the map to highlight and I refined the scale bars used in each map. I retitled the legend to be more accurate to the content. I put the original river line before simplification behind the others for comparison purposes. I liked this exercise for seeing the effects of simplification. I think the “Zoom In” map on the first map actually shows the differences better but I thought it was too exaggerated, too far zoomed in.
