Topo TNM Style Template Template goals and deliverables Map document deliverable (Style Template) Ancillary data deliverable (Map Details)
Topo Map Vector Data Product Purpose and file structure Production TNM Derived Names
Demo
3+Topo TNM Style Template:Objective
Provide an efficient, ‘one-stop shopping’ approach to secure GIS-ready map data configured to US Topo layout and cartographic specification
4+
ArcMap (.mxd) file Layout, labeling rules, symbology specifications Service links to imagery and shaded relief Fulfills US Topo cartographic specifications
requirement
Topo Map Vector Data Esri file geodatabase format Contains US Topo-related datasets Note: template can also be used with
individually-downloaded datasets from TNM Fulfills one-stop shop for GIS ready data
Topo TNM Style Template:Objective
5+Topo TNM Style Template:Contents
Downloadable from The National Map http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/tools/topotemplate/ http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/?category=vectorcmb
MXD File (template) US Topo Layout and
Cartographic Specifications
File Geodatabase (ancillary configuration data) Military Grid Reference
System (MGRS) data for map marginalia
Map Details Table for configuration information
6+Topo TNM Style Template:Contents – Map Document
Contains US Topo symbology, layer ordering, and labeling rules
Contains modified US Topo map marginalia
7+Topo TNM Style Template:Contents – Ancillary Data
One template to be used in any geographic area where TNM data is available
Easily configure Style Template to one of ~65,000 map indexes
Necessary map customizations provided through an ancillary table
8+Topo Map Vector DataPurpose and Structure
Easily linked to style template
Naming convention VECTOR_44226_Tallahassee_7_5_Min.zip [PRODUCT]_[CELLID]_[MAPNAME]_[EXTENT]
