2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
Design and Implementation of Cartographic Standards in a State Agency Track: Cartography and Map Production Author(s): Chris Anderson Increasingly, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) uses GIS as a tool for managing Florida's natural resources. As growth continues, there is a need to establish a consistent look and feel to FWC-created products. NOAA nautical charts and USGS quadrangles best exemplify this ideal. Templates made for maps of various sizes and symbol sets created for base and project-specific data are two methods for accomplishing this task. Currently, FWC scientists use ArcView 3.3 and ArcGIS 8.3. Map templates, symbol sets, and other cartographic elements are being created for both versions of software. This presentation illustrates the steps used to create the various cartographic elements and discusses any problems encountered. Implementation of cartographic standards will also be discussed.
