In a paragraph, describe the plots you created and what they show.
The code above makes a leaflet map.First I had to specify the lat and long to get the particular region that I wanted which was North Carolina. I tried to use the different tilesets, but only the Natgeoworld tileset would work. The “addcircle” function gave each city a circle. Additionally the stroke = false function made the circles have no boundaries. Each circle has a popup allowing viewers to interactively explore the map.
