Introduction:
These maps utilize base maps from online programs as well as downloaded zip files/shapefiles to
create maps hat now have some ‘real-world’ relationships. By learning how to download or add
bases, we can map important information over given information or we can make previous
information from the base maps stand out. These following maps show the important buildings,
roads, and recreational spaces in the town of Bellingham. Residential streets are not labeled, as
to not overwhelm the map or the audience with too much information. An Inset map was created
so that the audience knows were the town is relative to other towns and counties in
Massachusetts, but some of the base maps also help with creating a sense of relativity from their
labels.
Mapping Procedure:
FOR TOPO MAP
1. Download MassGIS Digital Orthophoto Index “OQMAIN” ESRI Shapefile
2. Open OQMAIN shapefile in ArcGIS
3. Open Inset map layer from HW5 with the definition query for Bellingham Town Outline
4. Select ‘Indentify’ from toolbar to pull up information about the raster data cells covering
Bellingham’s outline
5. Write down ‘SHEET_ID’ number from information pop ups:
a. 201862 201866 201870 201874 205862 205866 205870 205874
209862 209866 209870 209874
(I found this easier than looking at the statewide labeled map)

Download zip files for the ID numbers from MassGIS at http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-
tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/
imquad.html
FOR 2008/2009 USGS COLOR ORTHO MAP
6. Dowloaded zip files for individual tiles from http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-
serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/
colororthos2008.html
FOR 2013/2014 USGS COLOR ORTHO MAP
Added 2013/2014 USGS Color Ortho Map from ArcGIS Online (can also be downloaded from
http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-and-tech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-
geographic-information-massgis/datalayers/colororthos2013.html )
FOR GREY MAP
7. Added Light Gray Canvas Map from ArcGIS Online
FOR ALL MAPS
8. Downloaded USA States, MA Towns, MA Schools, MA Fire Stations, MA Police Stations,
MA Town Halls, MA Libraries, Bellingham Roadways for all maps
and save to appropriate folders in GEOGM2Leahydata
9. Open the downloaded and saved files for each map
10. Change MA State point layers to: Police Station, Town Hall, Public Library, Public Schools,
Fire Department
11. Double click the MA Towns Layer and create the definition query "TOWN_ID" = 25
2
12. Change Town Outline to a size and color that stand out from the basemap
13. Double click point layers Police Station, Town Hall, Public Schools, Fire Department and
create definition query "ZIP" = '02019'
14. Double click Public Library layer and create definition query "NAME" = 'Bellingham Public
Library'
15. Change point layers to the most appropriate symbols available
16. Double click the Bellingham Streets layer, under symbology select ‘Categories’ ‘Unique
values’ ‘Value Field: CLASS’
17. Click ‘Add All Values’
18. Remove Class 5 and 6 and uncheck the ‘all other values’ box
19. Change size and color so they stand out from basemap and click ‘OK’
20. Right click Bellingham Streets layer, copy, and paste two layers
21. Double click the second Bellingham Streets layer and under symbology select ‘Remove All’
then ‘Add All Values’ again
22. Remove Class 1, 3, 6, and uncheck the ‘all other values’ box
23. Change size and color so they stand out from basemap
24. Create a definition query "STREET_NAM" = 'BLACKSTONE STREET' OR
"STREET_NAM" = 'NORTH STREET' OR "STREET_NAM" = 'MONIQUE DRIVE' OR
"STREET_NAM" = 'HIGH STREET' OR "STREET_NAM" = 'CENTER STREET'
(I know the common streets and connecting streets because I live in the town)
25. Change the Bellingham Streets Layer to ‘Main Streets’ and ‘Main Streets2’
26. Double click the third Bellingham Streets layer and under symbology select ‘Remove All’
then ‘Add All Values’ again
3
27. Remove Class 1, 3, 4 and uncheck ‘all other values’ box
28. Change the size and color so that they are similar to the other Main Streets, but smaller in
size
29. Change the third Bellingham Streets Layer to ‘Residential Streets’
30. Change the Land Preservation layer to ‘Recreational Fields’ and create a definition query
"TOWN_ID" = 25
31. View the attribute table and select all values for recreational fields (I know the fields well
because I have used most of the fields before for sports)
32. Write down the ‘POLY_ID’ for the recreational fields that were selected from the attribute
field
33. Create a definition query for the selected fields "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND "POLY_ID" = 310

260 OR "POLY_ID" = 100 OR "POLY_ID" = 260 OR "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND
"POLY_ID" = 306 OR "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND "POLY_ID" = 311
