Creating Choropleth Maps of Cities using Graduated Point Circle Symbiology

Learn how to use selection operations in QGIS to create a series of choropleth maps that highlight certain thematic
characteristics using polygons and points.
For this assignment, you will create three (3) maps in accordance with the parameters specified below:
Map #1: Create an aesthetically pleasing map of the Lower 48 states of the United States showing all cities using Graduated Point Circle symbology based
on population rank. Note: You will use the shapefile data priovided (no need to google other country shapefiles.) Your map needs to have textual labels of the
cities with population ranks 1-3 ONLY. For this map, use the EPSG 102009 projection (North America Lambert Conformal Conic).
Map # 2: Create an aesthetically pleasing map of Ukraine showing all cities using Graduated Point Circle symbology based on population rank. Note: You will
use the shapefile data priovided. Your map needs to have textual labels of ALL cities. For this map, use EPSG 28466 projection.
Map # 3: Create an aesthetically pleasing map of one (1) country of your choice (other than the US and Ukraine) anywhere in the world showing all cities
using Graduated Point Circle symbology based on population rank. Note: You will use the shapefile data priovided (no need to google other country
shapefiles.) Your map needs to have textual labels of the cities with population ranks 1-3 ONLY. For this map, use WGS84 projection.
