Map Title: Population Density Comparison of Georgia, USA: Graduated Symbol vs Proportional Symbol
This map was created in ArcGIS using quantitative symbology tools to compare two population‑mapping techniques. The Graduated Symbol method classifies population values into ranges and assigns each class a different symbol size, while the Proportional Symbol method scales symbol size directly to the actual population values. Population data for Georgia counties was imported, symbolized using both methods, and refined through adjustments to classification, symbol size, and visual hierarchy. The final layout includes legends, a scale bar, a north arrow, and metadata to clearly communicate population distribution across the state.
