Abstract
Creation of the 106th and 107th Congressional District Atlas
Track: Cartography and Map Production
Author(s): Nick Padfield
The U.S. Census Bureau is responsible for producing the Congressional District Atlas, which presents a collection of maps depicting the boundaries of the congressional districts of the United States. The atlas for the 106th and 107th Congress was produced using a variety of Esri products including ArcInfo and Maplex; developing a complex mapping system to meet the requirements of this product proved to be challenging. This presentation will describe the major components of the AML-based mapping system including interactive map sheet layout and configuration, text placement and editing, and map output. Problems encountered throughout the project and how to overcome them in the development of future mapping systems will be discussed as well.
