UCI Engineering Maps

Overview

In this homework, you will be practicing adding data layers to a map file (.mxd) within ArcMap. You will use the symbology tools within ArcMap to display specific information found within the data layers. You will also practice adding the standard map components and adjusting map layouts before exporting your map to a PDF.

For this homework, you will want to have your final maps look as close as possible to the example maps provided (excluding the “Example” watermark, obviously). Things to check for before submitting your maps include the following:

Do you have all the main map components?

Is your data clearly relabeled within the legend?

Is your data clearly visible in the map?

Is your data the most important thing in the map, or is something else stealing all the

attention?

Did you use the correct map layout like the one shown in the example maps?
