Want to make better maps using ArcGIS? Use these five advanced symbology techniques to create a more engaging and effective experience for viewers: https://lnkd.in/gu7Ms-p5 #ArcGIS #GIS #mapping #symbology #cartography

The clarity and precision of feature names significantly influence how we perceive and interact with spatial information. Well-defined and consistent naming conventions enhance map readability, understanding, and overall effectiveness. A well-named map serves as a powerful tool for effective geospatial communication. #WorldGeographyWeek #MapChallenge #Cartography

Day 1 of the #30daymapchallenge was Points! This map for the Town of Gilbert's visitor guide shows distance and direction from Gilbert, Arizona of key points of interest. It is a small inset on a large format map of the entire town. Concentric circles represent hours of drive time from Gilbert's well-known Water Tower Plaza. I calculated drive time for each point in #ArcGISOnline in 15-minute increments, then created lines radiating to each from the center proportionate in length to drive time. While there is no basemap or other geographic features and it is not "to scale" in terms of distance, I think it can still be called a map because the direction to each point is true and the scale is one of time, not distance.

Trying to keep up to date on the #30DayMapChallenge with Hexagons. Bus stop Density in Wales shows that rural areas need more access to public transport. If there isn't a bus stop, cost and frequency of service are a moot point. #cartography #gis #map #mapping #30DayMapChallenge

Exploring Road Network Visualization in Massachusetts #LevelUp on my mapmaking journey with this visualization of Massachusetts' road network and public lands! This map highlights: Clarity and Readability: A well-defined road network with clear distinctions between major highways and secondary roads. Informative Labeling: Incorporation of city names and public land designations for easy identification. Balanced Design: A clean layout that prioritizes information while maintaining visual appeal. I'm constantly seeking to improve my mapmaking skills, and I welcome feedback from the community! What elements do you find most effective in a road network map? #GIS #Mapmaking #Cartography #Massachusetts #PublicLands

Step 1: Get or find data with a location attribute. Step 2: Make a #map. 🗺️ Maps answer questions about where stuff is. Thank you Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors for sharing your data with me. 👷♂️ #landsurveyor #landsurveying #gis #cartography

I've successfully designed and created a customized map layout for My district Purba Burdwan, showcasing its subdistricts - Burdwan, Katwa, and Kalna - in ArcGIS. This project highlights my skills in: #Spatialanalysis #Cartography #Datavisualization Ready to tackle more mapping challenges! #GISexpert #ArcGIS #Mapping #SpatialAnalysis #PurbaBurdwan #DistrictMapping #SubdistrictMapping"

Generating Contour Lines from DEM Contour lines can be created from a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) using GIS tools. These lines represent elevation levels across a terrain, helping visualize the topography of an area. With GIS, you can also customize contour labels and apply various styles to make the data clearer and more informative for analysis or presentations. #GIS #DEM #ContourLines #Topography #GeospatialAnalysis #Mapping
