Common Map Elements
• Common map elements are the title, body, legend, north arrow, scale, acknowledgment, and map border.
• Other elements include the grid, name of map projection, inset or location map, and data quality information.

Cartographic Representation
• Cartography is the making and study of maps in all their aspects.
• Cartographers classify maps into general reference or thematic, and qualitative or quantitative.
![Page 5: Applied Cartography and Introduction to GIS GEOG 2017 EL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161c0550346895dd1a145/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Spatial Features and Map Symbols
• To display a spatial feature on a map, we use a map symbol to indicate the feature’s location and a visual variable, or visual variables, with the symbol to show the feature’s attribute data.
• The general rule for vector data is to use point symbols for point features, line symbols for line features, and area symbols for area features.
• Visual variables for data display include hue, value, chroma, size, texture, shape, and pattern.

Symbols
This map uses area symbols to show watersheds, a line symbol for streams, and a point symbol for gage stations.

Visual Variables

Data Classification
Six commonly used classification methods are:• equal interval• geometric interval• equal frequency• mean and standard deviation• natural breaks • user defined

Classification Methods

Generalization
• Generalization is considered a necessary part of cartographic representation.
• Change of scale is often the reason that calls for generalization. When mapped at a smaller scale than that of the source map, the amount of map space is greatly reduced and, as a result, map symbols become congested and may even overlap one another. Cartographers may group or merge spatial features into one single feature and may shift spatial features to create space between them.

Quantitative Map Types
![Page 12: Applied Cartography and Introduction to GIS GEOG 2017 EL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161c0550346895dd1a145/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Raster MapsRaster maps are cell-based. They can be qualitative (categorical) or quantitative (numeric).

Typography• Text is needed for almost every map element.
Mapmakers treat text as a map symbol because, like point, line, or area symbols, text can have many type variations.
![Page 14: Applied Cartography and Introduction to GIS GEOG 2017 EL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568161c0550346895dd1a145/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Type Variations

Selection of Type Variations
• Cartographers recommend legibility, harmony, and conventions for selection of type variations.
• Mapmakers can generally achieve harmony by adopting only one or two typefaces on a map.

Placement of Text
• As a general rule, a label should be placed to show the location or the area extent of the named spatial feature.
• ArcGIS offers interactive and dynamic labeling for placement of text in the map body.

Map Design• Map design is a visual plan to achieve a goal. A well-designed
map is balanced, coherent, ordered, and interesting to look at, whereas a poorly designed map is confusing and disoriented. Map design is both an art and science.
• Cartographers usually study map design from the perspectives of layout and visual hierarchy.
• Layout deals with the arrangement and composition of various map elements on a map. Major concerns with layout are focus, order, and balance.
• Visual hierarchy is the process of developing a visual plan to introduce the 3-D effect or depth to maps.

Map Production
• GIS users design and make maps on the computer screen. These soft-copy maps can be printed, exported for use on the Internet, used in overhead computer projection systems, exported to other software packages, or further processed for publishing.
• Map production is a complex topic. As an example, color symbols from the color printers do not exactly match those on the computer screen. This discrepancy results from the use of different media and color models.

Data Exploration
• Data exploration allows a researcher to examine the general trends in the data, to take a close look at data subsets, and to focus on possible relationships between data sets.
• Data exploration takes advantage of interactive and dynamically linked visual tools. Maps, graphs, and tables are displayed in multiple windows and dynamically linked so that selecting records from a table will automatically highlight the corresponding features in a graph and a map.

Map-Based Data Manipulation
• Maps are an important part of GIS operations including data exploration.
• Map-based data manipulation includes data classification, spatial aggregation, and map comparison.

Attribute Data Query
• Attribute data query retrieves a data subset by working with attribute data.
• The selected data subset can be simultaneously examined in the table, displayed in charts, and linked to the highlighted features in the map.
• The selected data subset can also be saved for further processing.
