State University of Campinas - Reference Map


This was the second map, in the Geography Techniques class, where it was necessary to deal with generalization. The place being mapped was a personal choice, so in my case I mapped the region of my home university in Brazil. A satellite image was used as a base to digitize the features presented in the map.

The main challenges was to make the choice of what is going to be shown or not, considering it's not possible to show everything. It occured with the features, but also with the labels - specially on the street case, where there's a lot of features together, precluding a full labeling.
