Overview

I prepared maps in QGIS as the cartographic consultant for a colleague's senior History thesis on anti-colonial uprisings against British rule in southern Nigeria in 1929.

Methodology

I combined data from three British anthropologists' narratives, geolocated cities of interest and adding a contrasting color scheme to aid the reader.

Conclusions

The map integrated a series of disjointed narratives, and was included in the final thesis publication.
