Cattle are a huge part of agriculture in Kansas. In 1880 cattle numbers ranged from 426 to 26,208 per area (with some areas missing data). In 2000 numbers increased from 3,000 to 285,000 cattle per area. Evaluate the data provided through these maps. Determine whether you think the maps are easy to read or not. Summarize why you believe the maps are easy to read or what improvements could be made to make the maps more readable.
