Cartographic Skills – Week 4 – Typography

GIS 3015: Cartographic Skills
Week 4 Lab: Typography
Marathon, Florida


The map below of Marathon, in the Florida Keys exemplifies the application of Typography in the creation of maps.  The map was created in Corel Draw.  The features and places labeled on the map were located online through research for identification and labeling.  The typography techniques include the use of leader lines and proper selection of font color, size, and other attributes in accordance with standard industry practices that result in a clean and effective map.

Of particular note, I included additional text describing the beauty of Marathon, Florida and why visitors come to visit what is known as the Heart of the Florida Keys.
