Stonehouse stage one

The task has become clearer. Using a blank map of Stonehouse as a starting point, as a group we are to plot/convey aspects of the area that make up parts of the whole ambience/essence of Stonehouse, not just the obvious day to day visual. After visiting the area to collect more data and refine any previous ideas, we are to identify these unique aspects, and possibly improve, and represent them in such a way that an audience can decipher individually and draw their own meaning.
With all that in mind my first task was to identify a factor which I felt could be correctly mapped without/before going to the area. I chose to plot the factors which I thought would produce the most noise pollution within the area. These included the main roads, recreation areas, and the military barracks. The highest intensity of noise is marked with solid red lines and the spread is represented with wavy ripples. Whether my predictions are correct will be determined when we visit and re-plot our data.
