Golden Gate National Recreation Area - Park Atlas

The atlas consists of two panels:

1. The Map Panel
2. The Side Panel

• Zoom
• Default View
• Search
• Basemap
• Measure
• Full Screen
• Open Layer Table

• Bookmarks - allow users to zoom to a pre-defined park management unit
• Print - allows printing of maps users make
• Draw - draw points, lines and polygons on the map
• Add Data - allows adding additional data to the map
  • Note: This is an advanced feature that will be covered in another training

Two Sections:

1. Legend - displays only layers that are turned on in the map
2. Layer List - categorically grouped data

By default, only visitor centers and actively managed boundary layers are turned on

1. Expand group layers - click the arrow icon to expand layers in a group
2. Layer visibility - click the eye icon to turn on group layer visibility and click it again on any layers in a group you want to display

Visibility Scaling - you should also notice that some layers in the list are greyed out. This is because the map is not zoomed in enough to display a specific layer or layers

Zooming in and out on the map with group layers expanded will allow you to explore which layers show at certain zoom scales

As a general rule, layers with more detail will only display at larger scales (more zoomed in)

1. Clicking the ellipsis on a group layer lets the user change the transparency level for all the layers in the group
2. Clicking on the ellipsis on an individual layer expands it and shows six additional options

The map zooms into the bookmarked location and the location is highlighted in the bookmark list

If you expand the Transportation and Vegetation and Landcover group layers you will notice that many of the layers are no longer greyed out - the map has crossed the visibility scaling threshold for these layers to be displayed

Click the X on the bookmark widget to close it

With the Transportation and Vegetation and Landcover group layers expanded, turn them on and turn on the GOGA Trails and Marin Fine Scale Vegetation layers

Your map should look like the screen on the right:

To interactively learn more about the vegetation or trails click on a feature

A pop-up will appear with details about the selected feature(s)

If more than one feature is selected, you can use the arrows at the top of the pop-up window to click through all of them

The map automatically pans and zooms to the location entered in the search field

The user wants to know if an encampment on this parcel is the responsibility of the park, and needs to create a static map showing the result.

We can see that the park boundary is some distance from the address point but let's modify the map slightly to make it clearer.

To create a map that illustrates the situation, do the following:

• Under the Boundaries and Administration group layer turn on San Francisco Parcel layer.
• Under the Other Basemaps / Topography group layer, turn on San Francisco 6" Imagery - 2018 layer.
  • Increase the transparency slightly so the assessor parcel number labels are legible on the image basemap
• The result should look like the map on the right

Next, use the Draw widget to draw a polygon around the parcel in question (be sure to select an outline symbol/color before drawing, you will have to erase and draw again if not)

Finally, use the Print widget to print the results of your work. The settings should be similar to those below and the example on the right:

• Title your map
• Template: 8.5X11_LANDSCAPE_LEGEND
• File Format: png32
• Expand the Advanced menu
  • Current map extent
  • Add your name in the Author field
  • Include a legend
  • Change the Scalebar unit to feet
  • Print quality should be 300dpi
• Print the map

Turn on and expand the Facilities group layer and turn on the Culvert layer

Click the ellipsis next to the Culverts layer and select View in table

The culverts table is now populated with all the culverts mapped in the park

Now, let's refine the results, zoom to a location and look at the data in more detail.

With table open, select the Actions button on the top right of the table and choose Set Filter

Toggle the filter button on and click +Add button and choose Clause

Replace OBJECTID with Road Name

From the select source type dropdown, choose Unique

From the resulting list, select Old Bunker Rd (note: you can start typing the name and the list will refine results)

Click the Actions button again and notice the number nine in parentheses next to the all data selection and also that the set filter option has an orange dot next to it. These both indicate that there is an active filter and that the result is nine culverts.

The table now only shows the nine culverts along Old Bunker Rd

From the Actions button, select Zoom To

The map panel should now be zoomed into the filtered list of culverts along Old Bunker Rd. like the example on the right

Click on any one of the culvert points to open its pop-up

Click the dock button on the pop-up to move it to the right of the map panel and to enlarge it
