5
Map layouts
  • Lecture 3

6
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

7
Map layout elements
  • North arrow
  • Rectangular boundary (neatline)
  • Other elements
  • Inset maps
  • Data tables
  • Charts
  • Additional text
  • Photographs

8
Layout example

10
Fonts
  • Style
  • Simple and legible
  • Formal or informal
  • Number of fonts
  • Placement
  • Halos
  • Contrasts background

11
Bad layout
12
Good layout
13
Map scales
  • Lecture 3

14
Map scales
  • Map scale ratios
  • Dimensionless
  • Used with any linear measurement unit, such as
    feet, meters, or miles
  • Example, 124,000
  • Representative fraction
  • 1 inch on the map is 24,000 inches on the ground
    (or 2,000 feet)

15
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.

16
Map scales
  • 15,000 is large scale

150,000,000 is small scale
17
Scale 1100,000

22
Map units
  • Feet or meters is
  • the map unit for
  • most local
  • government GIS applications

23
Map units
Inch is the map unit for most CAD applications
24
Multiple maps and output pages
  • Lecture 3

25
Multiple maps
  • Separate data frames

26
Multiple maps
  • Separate layouts
  • Same size
  • Same scale
  • Subtitles (optional)

27
Data driven pages
  • Produces several maps from one layout
  • Tools, customize, data-driven pages

28
Data-driven pages
  • Layout textdata driven
