GIS 10 Presenting Maps and Data
GIS 11 Presenting Maps and Data Showing data to the general public should be simple and easy to read Know your data
GIS 12 Presenting Maps and Data Population
GIS 13 Presenting Maps and Data Population per Square Mile
Map Layouts
GIS 15 ArcView Layouts
GIS 16 Printed Map Layouts Concise Title topic, place, time Legend Word “Legend” or “Key” not needed Data Source Source and date data was obtained
U.S. Population by County, 2000 Data obtained from U.S. Census
GIS 18 Map Elements Scale inappropriate for small-scale maps not needed for familiar large-scale maps Direction Indicator north arrow - only for unusual orientations on large-scale maps use geographic grid on small-scale maps Photos / Images Neatlines
GIS 19 Map Elements Neatline, Scale, Additional Text, Photos
Example of a bad map...
A better map…
Map Scales
GIS 23 Dimensionless Map Scales ratio that relates a unit of measure on a map to some number of the same units of measure on the earth's surface 1:25,000 tells us that 1 unit of measure = 25,000 of the same units on the earth's surface 1” on the map = 25,000 inches on the earth's surface one meter or one yard or one kilometer or one mile would represent 25,000 meters or yards or kilometers or miles, respectively, on the earth's surface.
GIS 24 Large and Small Scale Maps 1:5,000 is large scale Large Scale Map Small Scale Map 1:50,000,000 is small scale
GIS 25 Commonly Used Map Scales
GIS 26 Map Units Feet or meter is the map unit for many local government GIS applications
GIS 27 Map Units Inch is the map unit for CAD applications
GIS 28 Scale 1:100,000 Scale
GIS 29 Scale 1:24,000
GIS 30 Scale 1:10,000
GIS 31 Scale 1:2,000
