Lecture 3 Map audiences GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Map audiences Map use: Exploration Presentation Audience: Trained analyst General public Purpose: Visual thinking Communication Advantages: Graphical Believable Granularity: Fine Coarse Symbols: Abstract Mimetic Granularity – can be more classifications Course – fewer classifications and bright colored hooks are needed capital railroad GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Lecture 3 Map layouts GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Map layout elements Main map size and location Map title and subtitle what, where, and when Legend No need to label it Legend. Everyone will know what it is (this eliminates “chart junk”) Data sources Graphic scale GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Lecture 3 Map scales GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Map scales Map scale ratios Dimensionless Used with any linear measurement unit, such as feet, meters, or miles Example, 1:24,000 Representative fraction 1 inch on the map is 24,000 inches on the ground (or 2,000 feet) GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Map scales Graphic scale Graphic representation of map scale Places a line on the map with ground distances marked, such as 10 miles, 20 miles, etc. GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook

Map scales 1:5,000 is large scale 1:50,000,000 is small scale GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook
