I decided to map my five points on a map that shows elevation as opposed to the streets of Northfield. I think this was a fun and more clear way to evoke the actual geography of Carleton. I also had the map display the frequency of visits per week at each location and perhaps someone looking at the map would be able to guess where I lived based on the frequency of visit to each place combined with a stronger sense of the geography of the space. Web mapping can be a really great way of visualizing data in a format that is compatible with humanities studies, which is what the digital humanities is all about. ArcGIS is a nice way to create complex maps and compare historical maps with what we now use as a world map. Making your own map, however might be more difficult on ArcGIS.
