Conclusion to Chapter 2

In this chapter, you have learned how to copy a project and practice good data management. You have also learned how to symbolize and label your maps in more complex ways in order to tell more aspects of a story through your cartography. Finally, you have learned how to reuse much of the work you have done with symbology and labelling. With this knowledge, you could extend the story you tell by creating a series of maps.

Throughout the first two chapters, we have used our mapping skills to learn about how European settlement on PEI impacted its existing forests. In the next couple of chapters, our attention will turn to urban history as we explore a project of European settlement on PEI that has foundered in the last century: the town of Georgetown.
