Sadoga-shima JA - Finished!
Sadoga-shima JA
An island located along the western coast of Honshu, near the city of Niigata. The inhabitants make their living off of farming and tourists. Sadoga-shima, at one time, was the location of gold deposits that were worked by exiles.
This island, with it's deceptively simple appearance, consists of 630 unique polygons / lines (not counting 50-meter interval contours). The majority of these vectors are the pinkish areas - which depict either human habitation or denuded land. On my map, they all are rendered the same. If I were to further refine this project, the determination between human and denuded would be made.
I am glad this is finished. I think I'll leave Japan for awhile.
A quick aside - I was able to use my work on this island with my students, as we are studying Japan. They know Sadoga-shima's history and current use and are able to compare and contrast it with the four main islands. Neat, huh?
Enjoy!
