Mapping Politics

This is an image of the Electoral Map when McCain went up against Clinton. This is probably a map that most people are familiar with.

Nevada Train Tracks


This is a shot of the train tracks going over the Carson River. The river is a little off, but it’s cool to see where the river used to be and how small it’s gotten over time.



The tracks branched off. The red goes to Reno and the Blue goes towards Virginia.



In other sections of the train tracks you can see on the ground the pathway of where the train tracks used to go. Here, on the other hand there are no remnants of the tracks. There is a neighborhood that was built right over the tracks.




Most of the main streets were built over where the old tracks used to go.
