4.4. Maps

The contractor shall create new wayside maps and modify existing maps according to the Attachment G, Map Standards and the following specifications.

4.4.1. Size and Scale

The contractor shall determine map scale based on the purpose, geographic area, and content of the wayside exhibit and map. The contractor shall specify map size (physical length and width) and the amount of geographic area represented within those dimensions (scale). The contractor shall mockup each map showing an accurate geographic area at the size and scale appropriate for and consistent with, wayside map standards.

4.4.2. NPS Standards

Attachment G, Map Standards include Frutiger and NPS Rawlinson fonts;

pictographs, scale bars, north arrows, road shields, and other NPS symbols;

light colors that coordinate with other brochure elements, such as photographs;

generalized linework; and, where appropriate, lightly printing shaded relief.

Wayside map labels shall be consistent with park signs and publications, and have a clean, uncluttered, and exceptionally legible appearance.

4.4.3. Map Accuracy and Generalization

Regardless of whether a map derives from geospatial or analogue sources, it shall be accurate. Putting information on maps by “eyeballing” it in is not permissible.

Thematic data presented on maps shall derive from authoritative sources. Care shall be taken preparing base maps from geospatial data to generalize it appropriately depending on the map scale.

4.4.4. Map Projections

Standardized map projections are required. The Universal Transvers Mercator (UTM) projection (the zone will vary according to location) and North America Datum (NAD) 83 are required for parks in Hawaii and the contiguous 48 states.

Maps of Alaskan parks shall use the Alaskan Albers Equal-Area projection, NAD83 datum. Maps of the contiguous United States (US) shall use the Albers Equal-Area projection, CONUS parameters. World maps shall avoid using cylindrical

Attachment A Page 9 of 15 projections (i.e. Mercator, Miller, and Geographic) in favor of projections with less severe areal distortion, such as the Robinson or Winkel Tripel. Final map deliverables shall contain metadata specifying the projection type, projection parameters, and datum. Maps produced in Adobe Illustrator with the Avenza MAPublisher GIS plugin automatically contain projection information.

4.4.5. Place Names

All place names on US Government maps shall be spelled according to the US Board on Geographic Names: https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/board-on-geographic-names.

4.4.7. NPS Starter Map Files

These layered Adobe Illustrator files contain all of the elements needed to design and produce maps in accordance with Attachment G, NPS Wayside Map Standards. For example, graphical styles assigned to layers automatically apply line weights and colors to roads, trails, and drainages; the contractor need only to draft (or paste) a line on the appropriate layer for the proper style to appear.

Map elements found in Map Starter Files include north arrows; bar scales;

pictographs; road shields, callout boxes; and area color schemes keyed to natural environments, such as deserts and forests.

4.4.8. Data Sources

Unless otherwise approved in advance by the COR, exhibit maps shall derive from accurate geospatial data sources. Typical exceptions to this requirement include simple maps that can be produced more efficiently by tracing existing maps in Adobe Illustrator; artistically rendered maps, such as a map in a fauxhistorical style;

and diagrammatic maps. Most new maps shall derive from geospatial data sources with georeferencing, including but not limited to the following data types: ESRI shapefile, .e00, and geodatabase; AutoCAD DXF; Digital Chart of the World (DCW); Digital Line Graph (DLG); Digital Elevation Model (DEM); Digital Orthophoto Quadrangles (DOQ); Digital Raster Graphics (DRG); Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS); and the full range of data formats offered online by the US Geological Survey and other US government agencies. The Contractor shall identify other available sources as required. All data sources shall be in the public domain unless approved in advance by the COR. See: http://www.nps.gov/carto

4.4.9. Metric units of measurement

When required, the contractor shall include metric equivalents for labeled units of measurement. All conversions shall preserve the degree of precision of the original English measurement. For example, a label that lists a trail as 0.25 mile shall not include a metric equivalent of 402.33 meters; this implies a degree of exactness that the original English did not have. The dynamic equivalent of 0.25 mile would be http://www.nps.gov/carto

Attachment A Page 10 of 15 about 400 meters. Road and trail distances below one kilometer shall be stated in rounded off hundreds of meters. Distances greater than one kilometer shall be stated in rounded off tenths of kilometers.

4.4.10. Revise existing NPS Maps

The contractor shall modify existing NPS produced maps. Modifications typically consist of color changes; label deletions and additions; removing or adding roads, trails, and other map lines; resizing maps; and, adding thematic information.

4.4.11. Map Types

The contractor shall provide a variety of maps including but not limited to the following:

4.4.11.1. 3D Maps These maps are sometimes called panoramas or birds-eye views, these digitally rendered views show natural landscapes (with three-dimensional ( 3 D ) terrain) and/or cultural landscapes (with 3D buildings) from an oblique angle. The contractor shall use 3D software of their choice for rendering 3D maps, unless otherwise specified. The final 3D maps are presented on the flat two-dimensional surfaces of wayside exhibit panels.

4.4.11.2. Image maps

Maps created from aerial photographs or satellite images. The images may depict the park planimetrically (looking at the site from a point directly overhead) or obliquely as in a bird’s-eye view.

4.4.11.3. Thematic maps

Base maps of parks and larger geographic regions overlaid with interpretive information. For example, a map of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem depicting forest fires since 1980.

4.4.11.4. Trailhead maps

Maps depicting hiking routes starting at specific wayside exhibits. The map orientation is in the same direction as the outbound hiker on the trail.

A trailhead map can also be a 3D map, image map, or conventional planimetric map.

4.4.11.5. Tactile Maps

Maps that are fabricated with tactile or three-dimension layers including braille and other touchable elements. The contractor shall create tactile maps according to the Attachment H, Tactile Map Guidelines.

4.4.11.6. Flat Maps

5.4.3. Type Fonts

The government requires the use of the Adobe Frutiger and NPS Rawlinson, a proprietary NPS face used throughout the park system. The contractor shall acquire https://npgallery.nps.gov/HFC/AssetDetail/91a1ea92-54b2-4244-a942-14fb6088d256 https://npgallery.nps.gov/HFC/AssetDetail/91a1ea92-54b2-4244-a942-14fb6088d256

Attachment A Page 12 of 15 a license from the Adobe for the open type version of Frutiger light, light italic, roman, roman italic, bold, bold italic, black, black italic, and ultra-black. NPS Rawlinson will be provided by the government with guidelines. The guidelines will describe the circumstances as to how the faces are utilized and the importance of ensuring graphic consistency for all NPS wayside exhibits. The contractor shall develop typography in accordance with the most current version of Attachment J, Typographic Standards.

5.4.4. File Naming

The National Park Service has created a digital-file naming convention for all wayside exhibits that shall be used for all files delivered to the government. The naming convention assures compatibility with all computer platforms and archiving systems and ensures unique file names regardless of the creator. See Attachment K, File Naming.

5.4.5. Color Management

The contractor shall adopt a color-managed workflow to ensure color accuracy and consistency. See Attachment L, Color Management Guide.

5.5. Specific Requirements for Writing and Editing

Content must support the stated purpose of each wayside exhibit.

5.5.2. Text and Graphics

Submit layouts showing text and graphics working together.

5.5.3. Site-specific Messages

Provide wayside exhibits where texts link visitors with the landscape in front of them and connect the landscape with the interpretive story.

5.5.4. Word Count

Make sure that each wayside exhibit can be read in less than 45 seconds.

5.5.5. Language Choices

Write in plain English, avoiding jargon and buzzwords. Use active voice verbs.

For safety rules, use direct, command-form instructions. Follow Attachment M, Style Guide for specific guidance on word choices and format issues.

Attachment A Page 13 of 15

5.5.6. Readability

Write text test no more than a level 10 on the Flesch-Kincaid reading difficulty scale.

5.5.7. Structure

Write text in logical hierarchies.

5.5.8. Neutral Point of View

5.5.9. Research to Support Content Development

Do background research to be able to interpret the wayside exhibit topics in projects where government-provided references are not adequate to do the task thoroughly and with factual accuracy. Where appropriate, use historical quotes to support the story being told. Quotes must be accurate and referenced.

5.5.10. Editing

Proofread to correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation errors.

Check all dates, facts, and labels. Examine text elements for consistency in treatment.

5.6. Specific Requirements for Language Translations

Where national parks require bilingual or trilingual wayside exhibits, the contractor shall translate approved English wayside exhibit text into target languages according to Attachment N, Language Translation Specifications and the following specifications:

5.6.1. Avoid Word-for-Word Translations

Dynamic translation of key ideas is more important than following the word order of the original writing. Non-English wayside texts must engage visitors' interest effectively. Interpretive meanings and intent must survive translation and remain clear to both audiences.

5.6.2. International Standards, not Regional Dialects

Match the vocabularies and complexity heard on news broadcasts on cable television; or compare translated texts to encyclopedia websites in the target language to gauge wayside text complexity.

5.6.3. Provide Visual Parity

Keep in mind that many languages require more space in print than English.

Develop bilingual wayside exhibit content so that no visitor is short-changed, regardless of what language they read best. Side-by-side text block placement avoids non-English readers feeling insulted.

Attachment A Page 14 of 15

5.6.4. Edit Translated Text

Proofread and correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation errors, following the rules of the target language. For Spanish wayside texts, follow Attachment E, Spanish Style Guide for detailed word choices, park-specific natural history and military vocabularies, and formatting decisions that have been used in many NPS interpretive media projects. For other languages, use the Chicago Manual of Style, Chapter 11, Languages Other than English https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/book/ed17/part2/ch11/toc.html for initial guidance on the differences in punctuation and capitalization rules.

Style guides for major non- English newspapers can also be found on the Internet for most languages used in NPS wayside exhibits.
