3 Advantages of Paper Maps Over Digital Maps – GIS Geography

In the digital cartography age, it’s easy to overlook traditional paper maps.

Nowadays, they’re becoming obsolete like old floppy disks.

But they still serve their purpose in our day in age.

Here are 3 advantages of paper maps over their digital counterparts.

The FSTopo cartographic database supports the creation of 1:24,000-scale, 7.5-minute topographic PDF maps for the conterminous United States and Puerto Rico, and 15 minute x 20-22.5 minute, 1:63,360-scale maps over Alaska. The FSTopo Area of Interest covers the USFS National Forests and Grasslands. The cartographic database is updated accordingly as new data sources are added by means of data revision activities, which are coordinated between the National Forest/Grassland units and the USFS Geospatial Techology Applications Center (GTAC).

Started to Do More Maps

Andy | February 9, 2014

Without the Internet at home, I sure have a lot more time to do mapping and other activities.

With the Internet at home, it’s always a distraction from getting any work done on the blog. Sure, it’s nice for searching for a code scrap or a solution to a particular coding problem, or to download a data file, but the Internet is mostly a big distraction from reading or doing blogposts.

I’ve figured out an easy way to get block-group level American Community Survey data from the Census department. The Census Factfinder lacks block-group data. It’s called the National Historical Census Database. Not only does it have Census data up to 2012, it also has old data back to 1790. It might be interesting to do some historical mapping of things like population, especially when mapping urban growth patterns. The trick to using that data is to make sure you use the NH Census Shapefiles and not the TIGER/Line as otherwise the codes will not be able to be linked.
