Finally, labels are added to the map under one Text layer, to ensure organization. Using this tool, label settings can be applied and multiple layers of data can be labeled at once if desired.

The Label Features tool was heavily used in the placement of labels, saving Applegate several hours of manual labeling. The finishing touches were also added to the map using MAPublisher. Data that does not have any georeferencing when it is imported, can also easily be georeferenced using MAPublisher’s Georeferencer tool.
This is made easy by the way MAPublisher retains the georeferencing of the data imported from other GIS software.
Select the images below to see a detailed look at Evan’s mapĪpplegate pre-processed his data in QGIS, GDAL, and Adobe Photoshop, and then used the Avenza MAPublisher plugin for Adobe Illustrator to composite it all together. The location of Applegate’s friends’ wedding, Slide Ranch, is identified on the map. The shaded relief details the varying elevation of the region, colour-coded to display the borders between forests, grassland, farmland, and urban land. It also includes 50-meter bathymetry contours. The map highlights various natural features throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, such as elevation peaks, water features, and some landmarks. The North Bay Area is known for being the least urbanized part of the Bay Area, and housing the Napa and Sonoma wine regions. Applegate created the map as a dedication for two of his friends who were married on a beautiful cliffside north of the city. The map shows the lakes, rivers, forests, grasslands, croplands, wetlands, and urban areas of the Bay Area. This relief and land cover map of the San Francisco Bay Area was created by Evan Applegate of The Map Consultancy.
In this month’s Map Gallery Spotlight, we are showcasing an honourable mention of the 2021 Avenza Map Competition.
