The good, the bad, the maps.

Good Map

This map from the 1990 census illustrates the population density on people of Hispanic origin. The legend clearly defines each color and what it means, allowing the viewer to understand that data being conveyed.

Bad Map
 
This map of the Spanish main, is very inaccurate. The land masses have no scale of relation to each other, and are poorly drawn.
