Scope
Multiscale topographic mappingGeneralization of National Hydrography Dataset
(1:24,000 High Resolution NHD)Multiscale topographic map designFor USGS web delivery portal The National Map (TNM)
Scale range 1:20,000 – 1:200,000 (1:5K – 1:2M planned)
Why focus on hydrography? Highly sensitive to scale and landscape differencesCommonly displayed on most base maps

Objectives
Work toward full automationMinimize anticipated times for manual editingUse COTS software or USGS available code
Maximize efficiency Make no more generalized data versions than necessaryLevel of detail (LoD) data
Preserve important hydrographic/cartographic differencesTerrain differences – flat, hilly, mountainousNext: climate impacts – humid, dry

Evaluating the solutionsContextual
– Map series across range of scales– Critique by domain experts (hydrologists, cartographers)
Validation– Compare against 100K Medium Resolution NHD
Metric– Summary statistics on retained geometry– Channel length, network local density– Catchment areas, upstream drainage

Building an LoD — 3 case studies
A. Isolate a single, continuous centerline– Intersect NHD Flowlines with NHD Areas– Dissolve on GNIS name– Simplify
B. Identify NHD Flowlines by local density– Prune differentially– Simplify, concatenate
C. Isolate local textures from NHD Areas / Waterbodies– Analyze, aggregate, simplify or smooth– May require treating feature codes individually

Practical considerations in design development
• No custom edits on TNM data (no clean up)• Simple geometric symbols, so no missing fonts or
pictures on export• Regular fonts for export and file sharing (vs. USGS look
with Souvenir and Univers)• Lots of group layers to easily turn off categories while
evaluating appearance• All rasters and layers with transparency at bottom of
TOC so export retains editable vectors and type• No over/under passing on bridges and ramps (user may
query this detail using GeoPDF click out to Google)

Additional workGeneralization sequences for additional landscapes: settlement patterns (rural vs. urbanized) and coastal
Tailor generalization algorithms, parameters, sequences to landscape types
Decide the smallest number of tailored solutions that will apply to any generalization situation, nationally.Confirm they are not interchangeable through testing
Test topo designs in multiple formats (ArcGIS, GeoPDF, cached tiles for web services, print) and multiple resolutions (print, 96 ppi desktop, 130+ ppi laptop)
