GGS 411 - Blog Post - Neat Effect - World Religious Dissemination

This map shows the dominant religion of different world regions throughout history.  The interesting effect is how the cartographer implements the introduction of new religions and cross-hatching to show areas where multiple religions have anchored a presence and are co-existing (peacefully or otherwise).  The cross-hatching using stripes of the symbolic color was particularly effect in portraying the mixture.
