Site Layout
Below is an example of the
layout used throughout this site.
The left hand column contains the map's title, a brief description and its
format, (color, dimensions and orientation). Both PDF and JPEG formats are available
for every map. However, some maps are only available in black & white or color.
The file size is located beside the format, measured in kilobytes (kb).
The data sources, links for maps and map's order codes are listed in the lower left corner as
appropriate. The right hand column contains a thumbnail preview of the map.
Download Procedure
Right click (info-click for Mac) on
the PDF or JPEG link, and choose "Save Target As..." (for Internet Explorer) or
"Save Target As..." (for Netscape). The option may be different for other web
browsers.
File Formats
If you prefer to view the maps in your
web browser, the JPEG format is the best choice. For printing maps, the PDF format is optimal and 8½ x 11
size is available free to download. If you are intrested in a larger print of one of our featured maps,
you may order them by simply clikcing on the stock number provided next to each map
(ex.
Order Code: IL-BM001
) and following directions on the PDF order form.
The map prints are available to order in the following sizes: 11x17, 24x36, or 36x48.
Please note that you must have the Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer in order
