This Web site is the result of the Final Project for the G184C - Geographic Visualization class of Spring 2002 here at UCSB. We focused on the population distribution of the state of Nevada from the turn of the last Century to the most recent Census of 2000. We tried to depict the steadily growing population of Nevada in several ways.

The following resources are available on the issue of population in the Silver State:

[General] General information on the history of Nevada, the symbols of the State and the counties.
[Data] Tab delimited text file containing a table with processed county-by-county population data for 1900-2000 from the Census Bureau.
[Population Links] A series of links on the general issue of population growth in the US.
[GeoVisualization1] An animated and interactive visualization showing the population density in 1900-2000 county-by-county with related data.
[GeoVisualization2] Another version of the previous visualization of population shown as a dot density map with multimedia features.
[Summary] Some final comments about the growing population of Nevada.
