Landcover resolution, overlay with admin
C. Brewer CEGIS, June 2011
What‟s not in 2010 ScaleMaster
• Ortho imagery through scale
• Grids, coordinates, PLSS… through scale
• Coordinate land cover and related admin boundaries
– Wooded and forest reserves
– Built up areas and incorporated place boundaries, CDPs
C. Brewer CEGIS, June 2011
Data development needs from others
• Areas for GNIS point names:
– physical features (bay, valley…),
– building complexes (large hospital, campus…)
• More hierarchies
– Roads
– Structures (for 17 types in standard)
– Airports
– Rail
– Summits (importance vs elevation threshold or relief analysis)
C. Brewer CEGIS, June 2011
Tasks for 2011/12
• Refine display and geometry change coordinated among
all themes through scale:
– More hierarchies of importance (places, airports, summits…)
– Hydro pruned and simplified, LoDs 50~200K, 200~500 out to 1M
– Hillshading and contours, ortho
– More road class levels
• Refine Maplex settings for dynamic labels (vs. anno)
• Refine style file and other ways for sharing symbol
designs
• Develop standard to begin implementing design in next
cycle for USTopo 24K quads plus TNM Viewer through
scale
C. Brewer CEGIS, June 2011
Future design development
• Resolution interaction with scale change:
– desktop, laptop, iPad…print
• Simple layer on/off for user-customized design
• Design can mitigate vertical integration problems
