Task Description:
Create Treatment Vicinity Maps
This document
modified on: 14 December 2001
Task: Create maps
of MD treatments, interstates, counties, and states for delivery to state cooperators
and applicators.
Rationale: Aid in
locating best airports to use when applying treatments.
Timeline: February
- April
Brief Process Description:
- Uses baselayer data –
counties, states, and interstates - with the latest treatment block geometry.
- Uses a map extent layer
to split the project area into areas that include MD blocks and will fit legibly
on the required 8.5x11-inch format for the maps.
- Zooms to each map extent,
then updates the layout with the name of the extent and a list of the treatments’
blocknames, unique ids, and acreage.
- Prints the layout in
the user-selected format – output options are .eps, .rtl, paper, all 3.

Processes:
Trt_vcnty_set_view_extents
- Gets output type from
the user.
- Asks the user about the
status of the Printer Setup.
- Asks the user about the
scale for the layouts.
- Finds the map extents
shapefile (vicnty_11x17_extents.shp) and its ‘label’ field.
- Loops through the records
in the map extent file, zooming to each polygon, then calling the
Trt_vcnty_maps_set_lyt.ave
script to update and print the layout.
Script Location: \\abyss\Mannin\scriptstrt_vcnty_set_view_extents.ave
Trt_vcnty_maps_set_lyt
- Locates the correct Views
and Layout.
- Creates a list of the
treatment attributes for the blocks in each map that. The list is displayed
on the layout.
- Assigns the view extent
name as part of the Layout Title.
- Sets the scale of the
Layout view frame for each map extent. This is hard coded into the script
and will need to be edited with new values when the geometry of the map extents
changes, i.e. when treatments are added or the first time in a new year.
- Updates the date in the
Credits block of the layout.
- Uses the View named overView
as a locator map for the map extent.
- Defines the Map Extent
theme in the overView to show only the map extent of the current layout.
- Creates output files
of the layout for each map extent. (.eps, .rtl, paper, all 3)
- Saves the output files
in \\abyss\sts\mm02\project\treatments\vicinity_maps\

These maps are produced
each year for DeeDee Sellers to send to applicators. She wants the maps in 8.5x11"
format and for the map to contain a list of the treatments (blockname, unique-id,
acres) that appear on each map. This project creates the layout for each map
and allows the user to choose the output format.
- Open the arcview project
- \\abyss\Mannin\trt_vicinity_maps\trt_vicinity_maps.apr
- Open the View – Vicinity
Maps – Small
- Make sure that the treatment
shapefile in the View is the latest version of the treatments and that the
Theme name is – MD Treatments - Theme Menu - Properties Option, then change
the Name.
***** If this is the
first time this process is used for the current year, do the following:
- Make sure that the
treatment shapefile in the View is the latest version of the treatments
and that the Theme name is – MD Treatments.
- Theme Menu -
Properties Option, then change the Name.
- Check that the .dbf
file associated with the shapefile contains the fields - blockname, unique-id,
trttype and acres.
- Set the Theme definition
of the treatment shapefile to show only the Mating Disruption blocks. Theme
Menu à Properties Option. Click the Definition button in the upper
left corner. Click the Query tool
Type in the following:
[trttype] = "MD"
Click OK.
- Edit the vcnty_11x17_extents.shp
so that the squares encompass all of the treatment blocks.
- Click this button:
You will be given a
choice of the type of output files to create.
The output will be saved
to \\abyss\sts\mm02\project\treatments\vicinity_maps.
