Year: 2023
Location: Nova Scotia, Canada
Client: Fanshawe College ; City of London
Tool: ArcGIS Pro, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop

Background

Nova Scotia’s diverse landforms, shaped by geological history and coastal dynamics, play a significant role in environmental planning and disaster resilience. Understanding these landscapes through cartographic representation helps in natural resource management, urban development, and environmental conservation.

Introduction

This project utilized Nova Scotia’s topographic database to create detailed maps of landforms, including contours, cliffs, and islands. By combining Raster data with cartographic techniques, I produced visually appealing and accurate maps that highlight the region’s unique terrain.

This project was recognized for its excellence in cartography during Western GISDays Event.
