Bilateral Graph

A Bilateral Graph is a geovisualization tool that graphs two related variables. This particular bilateral graph graphs the number of suicides per area (referenced by numeric pole) on the San Fransisco Golden Gate Bridge over the course of the last 75 years (since 1937, when the first person jumped). The even numbered polls are on the west side of the bridge and depicted as the top numbers, while the odd numbered polls are on the bottom. This is useful in displaying the information pertaining to a geographic location in an organized and visual manner, without being just another map.
