Abstract

Rapid Map Creation Using Data-Driven Pages at Multiple Scales
Track: Cartography and Map Production
Authors: Jesse Wickizer

Our client recently requested about 2,000 maps to be built in editable vector EPS format with some unique page layout specifications. Of course they had to be completed in only a few days time. See how we utilized ArcMap's Data-Driven Pages feature along with a well-designed map template to accomplish this task.
We will demonstrate some features of Data-Driven Pages and the use of Python scripts to build these maps efficiently.
We will then show how we build and test a map template using multiple data sources and Maplex for labeling, that's suitable across the country and at a multitude of map scales.
