Methods:
Civil Divisions Map
To make this map, the feature class containing the digitized proposed site of the Confluence Project was added, as well as the World Imagery base map, the county_boundary feature class, and the civil divisions feature class. Each layer was given a transparency of 50% and different symbol colors were designated for city, town, and village categories. A callout label was placed to identify the proposed site on the map. A legend displaying the proposed site and each type of municipality was inserted along with a scale bar with miles for the units, and a title above the data frame.
Census Boundaries Map
To display the census boundaries, a new data frame was inserted and the proposed site feature class, the World Imagery base map, and both the tracts and block groups feature classes from the City of Eau Claire geodatabase were added. The transparency was set to 50% once again, and the block group data was normalized to population per square mile. Then the legend, title, and scale bar were entered.
PLSS Features Map
In a third data frame the proposed site was displayed on a World Imagery base map with the PLSS Quarter Quarter feature class set as a hollow symbol in order to view the imagery below and the location of the Confluence Project within the Public Land Survey System. The map was completed by including a legend, title, and scale bar.
EC City Parcel Data Map
A fourth data frame was inserted, in which the World Imagery base map was added once again, along with the centerlines, water, parcel area, and proposed site features classes. The water was made blue with 40% transparency, and a bright, hollow symbol was designed for the parcel area. The centerlines were thickened and changed to a bright color. This map was created to demonstrate the locate band reference of the Confluence Project. The legend, title, and scale bar were added to complete the map.
Zoning Map
To create the zoning map, a new data frame was inserted which included the World Imagery base map, as well as the centerlines, proposed site, and zoning class feature classes. The values were grouped together to condense the number of zone classes, and each were given different colors to make them easy to distinguish. To finish the map a title, legend, and scale bar were inserted. The goal of this map is to show the zoning classes surrounding the Confluence Project.
Voting Districts Map
To represent the voting districts, a final data frame was inserted including the World Imagery base map, proposed site, and the voting wards of 2011 feature class. The labels for each ward were made visible using a halo mask, and a title, scale bar, and callout label were added to clarify the location of the proposed site.
