Cartography Module 2 Blog Post

 


In this module we created labels for a map of the state of Florida. This map was a lot of fun to work with and I enjoyed the creativity that we were given to add our own "spin" on the map. For me, I edited the labels of the two swamps to be a little bit smaller so that you could better see the other labels for the cities. I also edited the counties layer to just be outlines of the counties so you could see the layers underneath. Then I created a star symbol for the capital city and made the label a larger font so you can easily distinguish it from other features on the map. The only thing I really struggled with was figuring out how to get rid of the basemap labels, but I was able to solve that problem by switching to a basemap where the label layer was separate so I could turn it off.
