33 Map Elements to Include in Cartographic Design – GIS Geography

It’s time to create remarkable maps that make you an instant expert, attract positive feedback, and flood your portfolio with solid cartographic design output.

There’s no silver bullet for map design. It takes time and effort to create high-quality cartographic maps. Often, it entirely depends on user needs.

But there’s almost always reoccurring elements in map-making. That’s why we’ve put together this mapping checklist.

I was hoping to find a WMS feed containing LANDSTAT 1 data, but apparently none exists — probably due to control-point issues with the old LANDSTAT data, as you can see if you explore the old LANDSTAT 1 image I uploaded earlier today

I was hoping to find a WMS feed containing LANDSTAT 1 data, but apparently none exists — probably due to control-point issues with the old LANDSTAT data, as you can see if you explore the old LANDSTAT 1 image I uploaded earlier today. Simply said, it’s difficult to stitch together the different Rows/Lines of early pre-2000 LANDSTAT 7 images. Also, it might just be too much data to upload and maintain for NASA.

Maybe some point in the future NASA/USGS will post them. I can certainly download the individual images from Earth Explorer and process them using QGIS, but a WMS feed would have been nice for uploading to the blog. It nice that they are GeoReferenced on Earth Explorer but it’s obvious that there are some minor issues with control points being off.
