1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,720
- [Instructor] Hi, and
welcome back to the lecture.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,010
In part two, we'll explore
different techniques

3
00:00:07,010 --> 00:00:10,820
for creating map series in ArcGIS.

4
00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:13,630
We'll return to the already
familiar Mad River Valley

5
00:00:13,630 --> 00:00:16,770
and look at two different
approaches for mapping data.

6
00:00:16,770 --> 00:00:19,240
I'll try to sprinkle in a
few more tips and tricks

7
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,633
for working with map
layouts along the way.

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,250
So here we are back in
the Mad River Valley,

9
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:28,840
I've got my three town
boundaries outlined in blue.

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,530
I've got some parcel data,

11
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:32,690
the result of a view shed analysis,

12
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:34,730
and some points of interest.

13
00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:38,310
I'd like to create a map
series at the town level

14
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:40,633
for the three towns of
the Mad River Valley.

15
00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:44,140
Let's switch over to my map layout

16
00:00:44,140 --> 00:00:47,166
that I've already
inserted into the project.

17
00:00:47,166 --> 00:00:51,350
First things first I'd
like to create some guides

18
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:54,023
to help me manage my page real estate.

19
00:00:55,785 --> 00:00:57,803
Also it guides in both directions,

20
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:02,973
offset from the edge by one inch.

21
00:01:04,050 --> 00:01:04,950
There we go.

22
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:06,760
That should be helpful

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,603
when we're trying to arrange
the different map elements.

24
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,030
Back here on the insert ribbon

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,200
I need to add a map
frame into my map layout

26
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:22,463
and so I'll do that here.

27
00:01:25,340 --> 00:01:26,900
Looks like it's a bit off center,

28
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:28,293
that's no surprise.

29
00:01:29,570 --> 00:01:33,680
We can zoom right into that
town level if we would like.

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,990
Now we're not going to use the base map,

31
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:37,593
so I'll turn that off for now.

32
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:43,233
Let's add a few other map details.

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,997
We'll put our north arrow, and a scale bar

34
00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:57,753
into the map pane, and
let's also add our legend.

35
00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:06,430
Looks like we've got
some work to do there.

36
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:10,833
But at this point let's
create our map series.

37
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:13,960
If we return to the layout ribbon

38
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:18,870
we can choose from the
map series dropdown.

39
00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:20,850
In this case, we'll use spatial

40
00:02:20,850 --> 00:02:23,760
because that's going to
be defined by some data

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,480
that we have already in the map layout.

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,640
We could use bookmarks, but
because it's great out here

43
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,540
that indicates we don't have
any bookmarks in our project.

44
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:35,050
When I click the spatial option,

45
00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:37,850
that opens the layout properties tab,

46
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:40,483
and it goes to the map series section.

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,010
Now you have your choice
of the map frames,

48
00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:47,120
I'm gonna use the map
frame that we just created

49
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,590
and then it's up to you
to decide which layer

50
00:02:49,590 --> 00:02:53,690
will define the individual
pages of the map series.

51
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:54,870
As I mentioned before

52
00:02:54,870 --> 00:02:57,290
we're going to use the town boundaries

53
00:02:57,290 --> 00:03:00,563
and we'll sort based on that town name.

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,010
Down in the map extent options,

55
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:06,910
we can control the way that we
want the map to be displayed

56
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:08,573
for the individual pages.

57
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:12,150
Let's just choose the
best fit to the extent

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,240
and let's clip to the index feature.

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,250
In this case that will
be the town boundaries.

60
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:19,913
All right well that's it.

61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,750
I click okay, and our map
series has been created.

62
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:28,880
We see over in the contents pane,

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,313
we've got a map for Faytson,

64
00:03:31,330 --> 00:03:35,653
a map for Waitsfield and a map for Warren.

65
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:41,400
Notice that the map elements
are the same for all three.

66
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240
I've zoomed in on the map elements

67
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,640
and let's do just a little
bit of clean up here.

68
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:50,490
Okay, so we've got a few
challenges with this legend.

69
00:05:50,490 --> 00:05:51,840
There's quite a bit of content

70
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,730
and not a whole lot of space to store it.

71
00:05:53,730 --> 00:05:55,130
So let's see what we can do.

72
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,110
First, notice that when you
select an individual layer

73
00:06:03,110 --> 00:06:07,020
in the legend, you get the properties

74
00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:11,340
and the ability to format
that specific layer

75
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:12,240
within the legend.

76
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,330
Let's indicate that we
want to see the name here

77
00:06:23,130 --> 00:06:26,560
and keep our label in place.

78
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,560
Now let's also do that
for our points of interest

79
00:06:33,150 --> 00:06:35,560
so that we have the same size font

80
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,183
for each of those two things.

81
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,400
Notice also that we've got
our matter of Valley towns

82
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,890
and our matter of Valley parcels
included in here as well.

83
00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:49,650
Let's do a couple of other things

84
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:53,983
to improve the labeling here.

85
00:06:55,033 --> 00:06:59,033
(instructor typing on keyboard)

86
00:07:43,100 --> 00:07:47,543
Looks like we've got one other
fix to make with our data,

87
00:07:54,770 --> 00:07:57,750
and we're looking almost pretty good here.

88
00:07:57,750 --> 00:08:01,210
The last thing we'll do, is
make the size of the labels

89
00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:02,043
the same.

90
00:08:03,950 --> 00:08:06,213
So if I have my points
of interest selected,

91
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:14,810
I can look at that,
size of the labels is 11

92
00:08:16,899 --> 00:08:20,750
but what about for that layer name?

93
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:21,993
That's 16.

94
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,313
If I look at the matter of Valley towns,

95
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,213
those labels are also 11.

96
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:34,700
So I'm gonna make the parcel boundaries

97
00:08:36,030 --> 00:08:39,623
and the town labels a little bit bigger.

98
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,893
There we go, okay.

99
00:08:48,410 --> 00:08:49,893
Let's zoom out a little bit,

100
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,900
and now we can position our legend

101
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:01,593
here underneath the map frame.

102
00:09:05,930 --> 00:09:08,227
Okay. Well, we could
experiment a lot more with that

103
00:09:08,227 --> 00:09:09,827
but I think that's good for now.

104
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:12,900
Let's take a look at one other example

105
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,653
of the way that we could
create a map series.

106
00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:19,600
This time, instead of
using the town boundaries,

107
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,110
we'll create our own boundaries.

108
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:27,050
Okay first things first, I'm
gonna turn that map series off

109
00:09:27,050 --> 00:09:30,570
and I'll just close that layout
because we're done using it.

110
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:34,170
Now I'll come over to the geo processing,

111
00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:35,890
you remember our old friend fishnet

112
00:09:35,890 --> 00:09:39,600
that we ran a few weeks back.

113
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,500
I'm gonna create another
fishnet this time 3000 by 3000

114
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:47,063
meter boxes that we'll use.

115
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:53,910
Next, I will select by location
to select only those boxes

116
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,270
that intersect the matter of Valley towns

117
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,800
and from there, I'll create a new data set

118
00:10:08,890 --> 00:10:11,837
that we can use to define our map series.

119
00:10:14,203 --> 00:10:16,000
Okay, one more thing to do

120
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:20,160
and we were ready to
create our maps series.

121
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,053
I'm going to add another attribute,

122
00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:26,423
I'll call it map number.

123
00:10:27,770 --> 00:10:30,120
It can be a short since
we don't have that many

124
00:10:35,083 --> 00:10:39,166
and we'll assign that the
value of the object ID.

125
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,513
Okay, from here, we've come
over to our map layout,

126
00:10:51,276 --> 00:10:53,080
we need to insert our map frame

127
00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:58,340
just like we did the last time

128
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:02,400
and now we're ready to
create our map series.

129
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,427
Once again, it will be spatial.,

130
00:11:07,130 --> 00:11:11,080
we'll set the map number as the name field

131
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,483
and as the sort field.

132
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,963
Then we click okay.

133
00:11:21,450 --> 00:11:23,853
See we should probably
turn some data off here,

134
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,283
we've got our map series
with 45 different maps.

135
00:11:35,930 --> 00:11:39,450
Okay, let's look at just a
couple of other things here.

136
00:11:39,450 --> 00:11:41,800
I'm gonna turn on the base map.

137
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,580
Now remember when you have the base map on

138
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:49,350
that you also get this
labeling at the bottom corner

139
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:51,700
and sometimes that can
overlap with the features

140
00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:53,290
that you're trying to map.

141
00:11:53,290 --> 00:11:57,560
That's not the case on the
current page that we're on

142
00:11:57,560 --> 00:12:00,054
but I'm sure there's other pages

143
00:12:00,054 --> 00:12:02,823
that are completely full with data.

144
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:06,250
In this case, that creates an overlap

145
00:12:06,250 --> 00:12:08,630
that might make it hard
to interpret the data.

146
00:12:08,630 --> 00:12:10,950
These are what's known as service credits

147
00:12:10,950 --> 00:12:15,490
and then we can change them by
using the dynamic text option

148
00:12:15,490 --> 00:12:16,543
in the map layout.

149
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,140
So if I click on the service layer credits

150
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:23,440
from that list of options,

151
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,060
I can choose to put that text anywhere.

152
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:27,630
Then once I create that,

153
00:12:27,630 --> 00:12:30,793
we see that it disappears
off of the map layout.

154
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:36,460
One other thing that we can
use the dynamic text for,

155
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:37,923
is within the map series.

156
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:43,180
The page name, the page
number, the page within count,

157
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:47,157
all of these are options
that we can include

158
00:12:47,157 --> 00:12:51,230
as descriptors on the map series.

159
00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:53,340
Of course, you can go into the properties

160
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,983
and change the text symbol as you see fit.

161
00:13:00,580 --> 00:13:04,360
Okay, well, like always lots
more to do with map series

162
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,950
and map layouts, but
hopefully you found these tips

163
00:13:06,950 --> 00:13:09,763
and tricks helpful for
your next mapping project.
