Parts to a final Map
• Title – Always• Cartographic Material – Always and should dominate
the space• Metadata – Always (originator, date, source) keep small
• Legend – To extent possible• Compass Rose and/or Locator Map – To extent
possible• Scale – To extent possible• Subtitles – As necessary
Critiquing the Map1. Too much white
space2. Title could be a bit
smaller3. Expand cartographic
material4. If possible add
compass rose/locator map
5. Consider moving the legend onto the cartographic material
6. Consider shrinking the metadata and making as single line
7. Can we find a scale?8. Make metadata
smaller perhaps one line
