Water Quality Testing Map

In my last post, Genealogy Map, I used the R programming language to create a very basic family history emigration map. I’m also interested in using R to interpret my volunteer activities at Coney Island Creek under the Community Water Quality Testing program.

For a start, I’m posting a dump of map images I created using arcs to show the network of water sampling sites and testing labs that make up the program. There are nearly 90 sampling sites around New York City and New Jersey, and volunteers deliver those samples to 16 partner testing labs. Like my last post, this is my first go-round working on these, so I need to add labeling and a legend. Ultimately, you’ll also be able to rotate and zoom into the map.
