 Map Series Production Using ArcGIS (Workstation/Desktop) and ArcSDE Track: Cartography and Map Production Author(s): Byron Taylor Large scale topographic quadrangle maps (1:24000/1:63360) and intermediate scale base series maps (1:126720) to support the mission of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service are produced at the Geospatial Service & Technology Center (GSTC). When aging technology put GSTC's legacy map production capability at risk, a project was launched to migrate map production to the Forest Service corporate environment which included ArcGIS technology. The project was accomplished by assembling a multi-disciplinary team that included GSTC developers and product experts, as well as a contractor (T-Kartor Sweden) experienced in automated cartography software development. The project was divided into four general phases: Requirements Analysis, ArcSDE/Oracle Database Design, Software Prototyping and Testing, System Configuration and Implementation. This paper presents the development of GSTC's new mapping system and summarizes the lessons learned. Byron Taylor USDA Forest Service Geospatial Service & Technology Center 2222 W. 2300 S.
