Vet Clinics in the State of Maine Ask Geographic Questions In which towns in Maine can vet clinics be found?
Geographic Resources on Maine Vet Clinics There are many different ways of finding such information, ours was by using the two sites below: MEGIS was the site used to find maps for use Maine Veterinary Medical Association was where we came up with the data to use with the maps
Exploring Data Data was collected from a couple of sites and put together to make the beginning of the map.
A Maps Creation Using previous data, we have been able to map our map (as shown at left) so that it shows where clinics are and how many are in each town.
Analysis Analysis shows that vet clinics show up more in the southern most cities where there are more people
Act on Geographic Knowledge After observing the results from our analysis, we noticed that there was a lack of veterinary clinics in the northern and western parts of the state. The areas in the red circles might be an ideal place to either establish veterinarian offices or clinics.
