At the end of last year I did a research project identifying the ideal locations for new breweries and wineries in the United States. This was for one of my Geographic Information Systems (GIS) classes, and consequently I produced a couple of maps showing the results of my research and analysis. I figured I could put the maps up here for anyone who might be interested in such information, and as my own record of what I had done.
The analysis used various data and is only accurate up to the year 2009, so updated maps could be created. Several assumptions were also made when outlining the criteria used; these criteria are listed under each map, and assumptions are detailed in the cartographic model. Click on the images for an enlarged view.
