The Atlas Warehouse


The Atlas Warehouse page is being updated to provide a dynamic indexing capability


The Atlas Warehouse contains the images (i.e. the maps) and other files (e.g. tables, documents, databases) produced for the program.

Some images are sized for 11x17 paper and set for high quality print (large data files). As things progress the program will address the challenge of maps available in different dimensions.

Organization

The artifacts are generally maintained in alphanumeric order although, in some cases, similar images are grouped together for ease of reference.

Other views

Other Atlas web pages extract the basemaps, themes (layers), and areas.artifacts from the warehouse.

Contents

Map inventory (e.g. a full list of maps archived or available.

Source data

Catalog (e.g. a full list of potential source data including King County's entire Spatial Data Catalog).

These 3 images (Fig_1, Fig_2, and Fig_3) were used to select a legend box. The preliminary decision was to make it smaller and put it along the right edge of the page (see other sample images). Recently there's been a request (granted) to put the Green River CC logo in the legend.

Note that they also contain the 2004 King County map for reference. You can tell that year's map by the shape of the east boundary of the Tiger Mtn. and Hutchinson precincts. The curved line was in error in 2004.

??Should the legend be left where it is, moved, or made an overlay of the image (i.e. maximize the viewing window)??

FCUAC 8x11 portrait figure 1

FCUAC_8x11_Portrait_Fig_1

This working chart is one of 3 (Fig_1b, Fig 1c) that were used to decide on the icon and information layout (at the bottom).

Ultimately Fig_1c was closest to where it ended up. On the final products the information was move to the right edge of the page.

There's some thinking that the information should be made even smaller and placed inside the displayed map area. This would mean that centering of areas would be to the page not the visible window which would allow for more information.

These maps are also based on the 2004 King County map. They include the precinct map with markups for subareas and districts.

They're only value is the subarea notional markup.

A chart showing place names

FCUAC 8x11 portrait figure 1

FCUAC_Baseline_Place_Names_11x17

This working chart displays "place names" in the UAC area. The data is included on later maps with a reformatting of the names to make them a bit easier to see and read.

What's seen are areas like Hi Valley, Maplewood Heights, Coalfield, Maple Hills and Mirromount Estates.

The preliminary decision was that these were good for orientation and therefore part of base maps.

You'll see these names on later charts formatted differently.

These next charts were produced to resolve differences between the UAC boundary as defined by a list of voting precincts and one defined by the Four Creeks UAC boundary in King County GIS.

Note that the lower map (King County 2009) has been updated to correct the boundary issue with Tiger Mtn and Hutchenson precincts seen on the King County 2004 map.

FCUAC Boundaries

FCUAC_Boundaries

Using a King County UAC map (bottom) the UAC boundary defined in the KC GIS database is compared to the boundary created by the list of voting precincts.

Note areas (e;g; lower right) where the boundaries don't match. This means the KC UAC boundary will need to be updated.

Using a King County UAC map (bottom) the UAC boundary defined in the KC GIS database is compared to the boundary created by the list of voting precincts.

Note areas (e;g; lower right) where the boundaries don't match. This means the KC UAC boundary will need to be updated.

FCUAC Boundaries

FCUAC_Boundary_overlay_11x17_portrait-revised-vote-districts

These working charts display the UAC boundaries. The top map compares the area that is the sum of the boundaries of the FCUAC voting precincts with the King County FCUAC boundary layered on top. The markup shows a few places where it appears there may be a mismatch.

The conclusion is that the FCUAC boundary defined in the King County GIS needs to be updated.

The lower chart is the 2009 King County chart with some markup for UAC subareas and districts.

PDF version

This is an interesting layout for things like boundaries where an individual map may not be necessary.

FCUAC Boundaries

FCUAC_Boundary_Maps_11x17

This 2x3 template is a good base for summarizing boundaries whether or not a full size image is included in the atlas. Good candidates include the Legislative Districts, KC Council Districts, KC Court Districts, along with Congressional Districts and other high-level boundaries.

This chart is simply used to define the data area used to limit large GIS data files. It only needs to be reviewed if additional data from large databases is needed.

FCUAC Boundaries

FCUAC_Data_Frame_11x17

This working chart is used to set the frame for large data files. When including massive data it's important to filter out much of the unneeded data. This chart shows the frame for that data.

The term "base map" has meaning in mapping. Think of them as the background for an image. They are the things that will be there for all charts that use them.

There a quite a few base map samples. The direction given is to take all shading (regardless of color) from the UAC area so that it's as transparent as possible which means detail will be more visible.
