Mapping Best Practices: <br /> 1. Make sure all font is of a legible size, (12 or greater depending on the <br /> feature). <br /> 2. Try to assure that all font reads horizontally from left to right. <br /> 3. Make sure that features are not obscuring labels. <br /> 4. Create light background layers (i.e. topo lines) so that layers placed on top <br /> are visible and legible. <br /> 5. Create bold or large enough size font to read topo elevations. Topo elevation <br /> values should be placed offset (preferred) or on top of topo lines, rather than <br /> under topo lines. <br /> 6. Try as much as possible to avoid more than seven layers on any one map. A <br /> map tells a story. Anything over seven layers and the map becomes <br /> confusing and the story difficult to discern. <br /> 7. Make sure all map layers are associated with a legend item. <br /> 8. Strive for consistency in terminology and naming between permit and map. <br /> 9. Include in all maps: <br /> o A legend <br /> o A north arrow <br /> o A scale bar and information relating to the scale bar (e.g. one inch = <br /> 500 ft). <br /> o Projection Information: Please use UTM, NAD 1983 Colorado Zone <br /> 13N <br />
