Own Your Map

UWF Location in Escambia County Map


This week we practiced using the "essential elements" that we'll use on all maps going forward (legends, titles, scale, North arrow, border, name/date/source). We also learned useful functions like clipping one layer  with another shapefile.  I'm pretty happy with this map - I think it looks clean and the eye is drawn to the main point of the map (the location of UWF within Escambia County).  Color choices will be a point of weakness for me in this course, so I'm trying to keep it pretty simple.
