Paper
Creating a County-Wide Zoning District Map Book
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Amber Beckler

The Nevada County, CA, GIS Division developed a county-wide Zoning District Map (ZDM) Book using a geodatabase and the ArcGIS Map Book Developer's Sample. The original GIS version of the ZDM Book was created using AML scripts run within ArcInfo Workstation and the Coverage Data Model. The GIS Division streamlined the ZDM Book by integrating a county-wide review of its zoning data with a customized, data-driven process to generate the Book pages. The multi-step process involved verifying the accuracy of the zoning boundary and attribute data, creating a map template that was easily readable for end-users, configuring the datasets to drive the page output, creating scale-dependent, feature-linked annotation, conducting quality assurance/control, and distributing both paper and digital copies to various end-users. Many of the map book options were used to customize the map template.
