I had stumbled upon this useful online course on Cartography last week. It is giving me an opportunity to understand the 'Art & Science' of mapping Geographic data as well as obtaining hands-on experience of using the powerful Geographic Information System (GIS) platform - ArcGIS Pro. Much thanks to its Developer - Esri!
Below is my Output from Week 1's training exercise - reproducing a map of the state of Massachusetts, USA and plotting the Road Features as well as the Green Zones within it. I'm in awe to know the extent of work that goes behind creating a professional-looking Map. Much to admire about the skill of the older Cartographers who did not even have a powerful software to help them in this meticulous activity!
There's another course on GIS by UC Davis research university on Coursera which is on similar lines and also very useful for those interested to explore this field. I started this venture of mine Intelloc Mapping Services (Mapmyops) after feeling inspired about GIS' potential and its linkages to my academic specialization (Supply Chain) from this course.
Isn't it amazing how a single Map can capture such a huge amount of Information?
