Like point A to point B type of map. Create an ArcGIS StoryMap that outlines your final project topic. Use this assignment to find possible datasets and/or contextual information (e.g., NHGIS data, other spatial layers in the ArcGIS Online/Living Atlas portals, historical maps from MapWarper.net, the Library of Congress, David Rumsey, or other IIIF archives, etc.). Experiment with different types of interactions and options to visualize/display information. If you are working with datasets, you can use the ChatGPT > Colab > Github workflow to create interactive charts, which can then be embedded in the StoryMap (embed option). Aim for 4-7 unique, interactive visualizations in the StoryMap (do more than one map with 5 different view changes, i.e., sidebar -- this will be...

  For my blog post I want to have a population representation of 1830's America. More specifically the population difference from white and black Americans in this era. Obviously off the bat I noticed the difference in the country being different from Virginia to parts of modern day Canada still being disputed. But when you looked specifically on this data set by county, even though it was only a census. They still paint a picture of what the population density looked like especially in the south since there were some county's that had more enslaved peoples than the white population. The process to the get this dataset was quite easy with NHGIS and all you had to do was input the data as a csv and it went pretty smoothly. I'm sure out there someone has already visualized this dataset but it would still be interesting to see if someone could do it by county with the limited amount of data available.
