Editorial Plan:
2.1 Planning: Cartographic work is going on (Arc-GIS) editing and digitizing Areas. The map should present the major aquifers of Texas area with better visualization by using hillshade, city data and road information. The map will be printed in medium scale (1 cm: 23 m) in A1 page. It is a thematic map not a reference map and it is not going to be used for measurement such as distance so the data are not accurate and up-to-date. The coordinates system of Texas database is GCS-NAD 1983 (Geographic coordinate system). 2.2 Data: The major data for this project are obtained from Texas Water Development Board [4] and they are composed of: Data Boundary Major Aquifers Major Rivers Lakes and reservoirs Forests Cities (2012) Major Roads Elevation Geometry Polygon Polygon Line Polygon Polygon Point Line Raster Attributes required None Name, Area Shape Name, Shape Name, Shape Name, location Type DEM
2.3 Symbology: The map scale as mentioned before is 1 cm to 23 meter. This scale is for the best fitting in A1. For the base map, DEM of Texas has been chosen with Terrain-Hillshade and Terrain-Colorramp. They have been created by ArcGIS spatial analysis tool. The layer for roads and river is added to the map with their symbology. The symbology of road has been followed to American standard which they have been edited in Symbol properties editor. Finally the label of lakes, forest and cities is added. The color is chosen Blue, Green and dark grey for them with time and new romance font (size 12 for lake and forest and 7 for cities). The 9 major aquifers have been classified in 9 light color to have better visualization with the hillshade background. 2.4 Layout: For creation of the layout of the map layout view was used. Firstly, two types of legend have been added in our map; one with the symbols of lakes, rivers, cities, forest and roads and other one with symbols of the major aquifers of Texas. Continuously, scale bars have been added showing the scale in kilometers and miles. Finally, a title, north arrow and a short description of Edwards aquifer have been edited. The layout is in landscape orientation because it fitted the map and the scale better. 2.5 Output: The final map should be delivered in PDF format which can be printed color at large size of A1 (33.11* 23.39 Inch).
