Map Layouts

Map Layouts

Map Layouts Includes all of the elements of a stand alone map • Make

Map Layouts Includes all of the elements of a stand alone map • Make the map the largest and most prominent element of the layout • Put a rectangular boundary around the map (called a neat line by cartographers) to help draw attention to it as the central element • Include a map title -The title needs to include information minimally answering the three questions what, where, and when. GIS 14

Map Layouts (Continued) • Include a legend for symbols placed in the lower-right or

Map Layouts (Continued) • Include a legend for symbols placed in the lower-right or left of the layout -No need to label it Legend. Everyone will know what it is (this eliminates “chart junk”) • Include data sources • Ensure legibility • Include a graphic map scale if your audience is not familiar with the area shown • Do not include a north arrow unless the top of your map is not north GIS 15

Map Scales

Map Scales

Dimensionless Map Scales • ratio that relates a unit of measure on a map

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.
