Esri International User Conference 2001 Paper # 397 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources LandView -- Map Objects Application Development -- July, 2001

The Display Window allows for displaying shape files over the top of the background map such as townships (A), Roads (B), and State Parks (C). Another name for these shape files is reference data or overlay information.  The overlay options available in LandView are:

• Counties
• Roads
• Lakes
• Rivers
• Public Land Survey (PLS) Townships
• Public Land Survey (PLS) Sections
• Public Land Survey (PLS) Forties
• Minor Watersheds
• Major Watersheds
• USGS Quadrangles
• State Parks
• County/DNR Lands

Be aware that the last shapefile (overlay information) that is turned on will be displayed on top of all other shape files that have been selected. So if you want to see a particular shape file over another one (such as township lines over lakes, roads, etc.) then check it last, or simply turn it off then on again.
