MAP ARTIST PROGRAM

 

Map Artist is the perfect tool for creating customized maps to include in research projects and reports. Map Artist offers endless possibilities. It has a huge collection of map styles to choose from, and they can be customized to suit your special needs. In this program, we will assume you have been asked to create a map for a social studies report.

Step 1. When you open Map Artist, a world map will be displayed. Type “USA” in the dialogue box. Click GO. A map of USA will be displayed.

Step 2. Click on the drop-down menu next to the outline map of the state. Click on the type of map you need for your report.

· OUTLINE shows only the outline shape of the state with no highways or population centers indicated.

· TOPOGRAPHIC indicates elevations（海拔）as well as the location of major cities.

· SHADED RELIEF shows only natural landforms (mountains, valleys, rivers) and national parks.
