The term project created in this course was a conventional topographic map of Banff National Park. It can be found under the Topographic Maps link to the left or by clicking here.
PROPERTY VALUE RANGES
This map depicts property values for the given area; between 6997 and 424438.
It was made firstly by creating a New Map Model. Lot shapes were attached by reference and symbolized thematically. In the symbology editor classes were defined in the Class Generator. They were described by the following attributes: Prop Val, By Range, 1000 sample size, Equal Count with 5 intervals. These five classes were further symbolized in the ramp area where two colours were selected and a blend created between them. Once these areas were redefined, road features, tree features and water features were added to the map for context.
This map depicts those lots that are treed versus those untreed to determine who is eligible for a green tax rebate.
The map initially began by the creation of a New Map Model. Following this, 6 vegetation files were attached. Of these only trees were worked with to create a tree lot overlay. By right clicking on the tree feature , the overlay option was chosen. The lot shapes file was added to the right had field along with the trees. The point operation section was set to 'keep' and the inside option was 'enabled'. The result was named 'Trees in Lots'. This result was then given an appropriate colour and clipped along with remaining features to a neatline.
