Isoline Map, (weekly blog post #6)

I chose to select a type of map other than one that shows elevation or weather data commonly associated with the isoline mapping technique. Isolines are commonly used to denote territory either lost or gained through military advancements or expropriations of land by states through out history. I've been to Bosnia and Herzegovina and this map depicts the growth of Bosnian lands through the middle ages. The color ramp consists of four shades of pink that gradually get darker. Though numerical values are not associated with the different color layers, we can see that the darkest pink is associated with the actual origin of the Bosnian people, as well as a higher concentration in cities or town centers.
