This page was created
as part of a workshop on methods to put maps and images on Internet websites.
The workshop, held at the University of Rhode Island, March 18, 2005,
was sponsored by the URI and UConn Geospatial Technology Programs.
Click on the links
below to view pages that demonstrate techniques for "publishing"
geospatial data on the web. The pages were developed using ESRI's ArcGIS
version 9.0 with free or inexpensive software. They illustrate alternatives
to true interactive Internet Mapping technology. For the most part, these
techniques are easy to implement and require little or no ongoing support.
Downloadable and
printable maps
- Static
maps included as part of web pages.
- An 8.5"
by 11" pdf of a base map of the town of Marlborough, Connecticut
and a similar 24"
by 36" pdf of the same area. The pdfs were created by Exporting
ArcMap layouts to pdf formats. Pdfs have a number of advantages that
inlcude pan and zoom functions, maintenance of cartographic resolution,
familiarity with Adobe Reader, pdfs can be viewed within a web browser
or downloaded and saved to disk.
Maps that link
to other maps, images, websites, etc.
- A simple town map
with links
to 1934 aerial photos (stored as jpgs) tiled by tax map boundaries.
This example uses an index map to acces the jpg images. The html page
was created with a free script from the ESRI download site.
- A simple town map
with links to pdfs of base
map data tiled by tax maps boundaries. The individual tax map pdfs were
created with the free ESRI
Mapbook extension. The html page was created with a free script
from the ESRI download site.
Alta4 HTML ImageMapper
- Sample HTML ImageMapper
site that demos a simple county
map with layers that turn on as you zoom in. This is a pseudo interactive
mapping site based exclusively on html code and lots of image files.
- Sample HTML ImageMapper
site that demos a simple town
parcel map.
ArcReader
- Sample ArcReader
files - but you'll need the ArcPublisher extension to create the
datasets - not inexpensive but lots of functionality.
