Arches National Park Map


Many hours of work have been put into this map. This map shows predominant features such as arches, peaks, rivers and streams, mines, and roads. I hope to do more maps of Utah Parks in the near future. I am looking for constructive feedback to perhaps get this (and future) to a FPC quality image. Thanks.

 * Very nice map. Normally reviewers would look for maps in vector form, but considering the fact that you have shaded relief and the map is large, a raster map would probably be acceptable. A few other ideas: The font in places is a little dark, as you have black text on a dark map. I might suggest lightening the shaded relief or choosing a different color for the labels. You may also want to choose a different font for the top label "Arches National Park", perhaps something a little less informal. Otherwise, very nice work.

 * I made some changes, mainly the ones suggested by Jeff Dahl (which were shared by me too). Much better looking, IMHO.  Let me know of any other comments.  Justinmorris (talk) 03:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Much better. But I notice that the inner region is now darker than the outer region, which is counter-intuitive. Consider making the inner region the lighter one. Also, there seem to be some spiky lines along the border line, especially north of Glover Canyon. Otherwise I think it's ready for FAC. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 04:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the effect I am going for is the one I did on another map. If I took out the coloring on the hillshade outside the park it might help.  LOL @ those spikes.  Those are totally a freak-out of ArcCrap/Arcmap. I'll figure out how to fix it.  Justinmorris (talk) 05:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
