description
Oregon Metro has redesigned its MetroMap application using a new basemap that leverages the strengths of ArcMap’s advanced cartographic toolset. This new multi-scale set of map tiles include tapered streams, multiple direction oblique weighted hillshading, highest-hit LiDAR shading, vegetation coloring, mixed-case labels and more. Multiscale Maplex rules provide an elegant set of labels that can be layered effectively over operational layers resulting in a properly designed map service. Using RLIS data that is updated quarterly, Metro’s new map service provides a visually appealing and authoritative basemap for your data. This presentation will focus on the cartographic workflow and tools (including lasers) used to create this multi-scale map of our region.
