Week 3 Lab:
Cartographic Design
Public Schools in Ward 7, Washington, DC
The
purpose of this week’s assignment was to create a map denoting the general
location of public schools in the area known as Ward 7 in Washington, DC.
The
map shown below contains an inset map showing the location of Ward 7 within the
boundaries of Washington, DC. The larger
map denotes the general location of the public schools and type of school such
as elementary, middle or high school. A
different size school house symbol has been used to denote the different types
of school as reflected in the legend. The
Ward 7 area has also been labeled with the location of seven neighborhoods to
provide some additional cross-reference to the location of the schools.
The
map was created in ArcGIS. The initial
work was done in the data view, but final presentation elements were
incorporated in the layout view. Of
particular interest, two (2) data frames were used – one for the main map and
another for the inset map.
