Color is specified in process CMYK.” The next paragraph is headed “Environment” and reads, “Climactic or topographic swatch families can be used as subject area colors or as simple background fills. Choose the shade within the family that works best with the selected trail, water, and other-subject area colors. All linework (roads, trails, symbols) is designed to work with any family and shade.” Green Forested is shown in three shades of green: 30/15/30/00 for light, 40/25/40/00 for medium, and 50/35/50/00 for dark, Urban or Alpine is three shades of gray brown: 00/02/04/19 for light, 00/03/06/25 for medium, and 00/04/09/38 for dark, Dessert or Beach is three shades of brown: 00/02/12/15 for light, 00/04/18/22 for medium, and 00/06/28/34 for dark, Glacial Arctic is three shades of pale blue: 03/02/00/02 for the lightest, 08/03/00/04 for medium, and 12/05/00/07 for darkest, Volcanic is three shades of red: 08/20/21/09 for light, 11/30/30/13 for medium, and 16/44/44/20 for dark, Trails have five examples of dashed lines with yellow against green, Yellow 100%; black against light blue, Black 100%; green against gray, Green 80/00/80/40; red against tan, Red 00/100/100/50, and white against red, White 100%, Drainage and open water are three shades of bright blue: 25/08/00/00 for the lightest, 25/05/00/20 for medium, and 25/05/00/35 for the most muted, and Other-subject area has six examples: pale tan is 00/00/05/05, pale peach is 00/07/11/00, pale pink is 06/10/10/00, pale green is 08/05/10/00, pale yellow is 05/07/18/00, and pale purple is 07/07/05/00. NPS Pictographs Now on the second page, this section begins with the text, “All pictographs used on the map must be identified in the map legend. Pictographs should be limited to no more than six per map. Any map feature which appears only once or twice should be labeled rather than using a pictograph.” Sixty-eight icons listed in two columns are mostly shown as white within a black square. Two exceptions are Hospital and Emergency phone, which are shown as white within blue squares. The icons are listed as follows: Airplane with angled wings for Airport, Diamond shape with three nested, curved lines radiating downward for Amphitheater, Boat on a trailer on a ramp for Boat launch, Shuttle boat for Boat tour, Person on a bicycle for Bicycle trail, Front of a bus for Bus stop/Shuttle stop, Triangle with heavier lines on the left and right sides for Campground, Flames over two logs, all in a tray for Campfire, Person rowing a canoe for Canoe access, Person appearing to run while wearing skis and holding poles for Cross-country ski trail, Person hunched over skis that are shown on a diagonal for Downhill skiing, Cup with a wavy line for Drinking water, Equal-sided cross for First aid, Fish head and J-shaped hook for Fishing, Fork and knife for Food service, Open-topped vehicle for 4-wheel-drive road, Gas pump with hose and nozzle for Gas station, Person on horseback for Horseback riding (rental, guided tour), Capital letter H in a blue square for Hospital, Person leaning forward over ice skates with arms behind them for Ice skating, Question mark in a circle for Information, Person dropping material into a trash can for Litter receptacle, Person lying in a bed for Lodging, Anchor for Marina, Person on a motor bike for Motor bike trail, Capital letter P for parking, Dog on a leash for Pets on leash, End view of a picnic table for Picnic area, Outline of an envelope for Post office, Nozzle dropping liquid into the open hood of a car for Radiator water, Simple house-like structure with a flag flying from the top for Ranger station, RV for RV campground, Three arrows making a triangle for Recycling, Sailboat over a wavy line for Sailing, Camper with an arrow pointing from the back end down into an underground tank for Sanitary disposal station, Person diving while wearing an oxygen tank and mask for Scuba diving, Person wearing a backpack and standing by a display, all surrounded by a dotted line that points back at the person for Self-guiding trail, Structure with a wall, floor, and angled roof for Shelter, Person under a showerhead with one hand on their chest and one arm lifted for Showers, Person angled downward while belly-down on a sled for Sledding, Person on a snowmobile for Snowmobile trail, Structure with a wall, floor, and angled roof over a horse for Stable, Jug and apple for Store, Person half lifted out of water, one arm overhead for Swimming, Telephone handset in a black square for Telephone, Telephone handset in a blue square for Emergency telephone, Person wearing a backpack and holding a walking stick for Trailhead, Person sitting in a wheelchair for Wheelchair-accessible, Person holding a sail and braced on a line for Wind surfing, Capital letter P in a black square over the word “Permit” has accompanying text, When a permit is required for a feature identified by a symbol, add the word “Permit” in 11-point Frutiger 65 Bold. The column of symbols is interrupted by this text: “If more than one symbol is needed at the same place, group symbols under the label and key to a locator dot.” The example given has “Harpers Ferry” next to a black dot and over three blank, outlined squares. The final part of this section begins with the text, “Use a positive symbol to refer to a particular place such as a campsite or fire tower. Use positive symbols indicating activity along a trail or route line. Do not use a positive symbol with a locator dot.” The remaining sixteen icons are shown in black.

Scales and North Arrows Text in this section begins “Adjust the length as necessary to match map scale but do not exceed five inches. Labels: large size: 18-point Frutiger 55 Roman.; medium size: 16-point Frutiger 55 Roman; small size: 14-point Frutiger 55 Roman.” Twelve examples of scales and eighteen north arrows follow. Each scale starts to the left with 0 and then lists meters, feet, kilometers, or miles. In each instance, “00” acts as a placeholder for the distance. The scales are shown in two columns as follows: Meters are represented by a black solid bar and Feet by an outlined bar, Meters a black solid bar and Feet is outlined bar, and tick marks break the first half of each measurement into five smaller units, Meters are a black bar and Feet is an outlined bar, and tick marks show the midpoint in each unit, Kilometers is a black bar and Miles is an outlined bar, Meters is a black bar and Feet an outlined bar with tick marks breaking each unit into four equal increments, Kilometers are a black bar and Miles an outlined bar, and tick marks show the midpoint in each unit, Meters is a black bar and Feet an outlined bar, and tick marks break each unit into five equal increments, Kilometers is a black bar and Miles is outlined, and tick marks break each unit into four equal increments, Meters and Feet share a single black line, and tick marks break the first half of each unit into five smaller increments, Kilometers and Miles share a single black line, and tick marks show the midpoint in each unit, Kilometers and Miles share a single black line, and Kilometers and Miles share a single black line, and tick marks break each unit into four equal increments. Three rows of six arrows, each within its own circle, follows. The word “North” appears wherever the arrow is pointing. The top row is the largest, the second row is medium, and the bottom row is the smallest. In each row, the arrows are shown pointing to noon, then one o’clock, three o’clock, six, nine, and eleven o’clock. Sample map legend This section begins with the text, “All pictographs used on the map must be identified in the map legend. Include any lines, symbols, or colors which are not labeled directly on the map. Labels are 18-point Frutiger 55 Roman with 18 point leading.” Three columns, each with three entries, begins with linework to include a gray thick line for Unpaved road, gray line for 4-wheel-drive road, and gray dashed line for Trail. Six symbols that follow represent Ranger station, Picnic area, Self-guiding trail, Emergency telephone, Lodging, and Wheelchair-accessible. Road Shields The next section has four subsections: White Fill - Large, White Fill - Small, No Fill - Small, and Directional Notes. In the first subsection, White Fill - Large, and rows of symbols appear as follows: First row has four shields with black along the tops. The first shield has one zero, the next two, then three, and finally two rows of two. Second row has five shields without the black across the top. Shields are shown with one zero, then two, three, two rows of two, and two rows of three zeros. Third row has five ovals. The first has one zero, then two, three, four in a single line, and finally “000” on one row and “Loop” below. Fourth row has four rectangles filled with one, two, three, and four zeros The next subsection for White Fill - Small repeats the shapes and zeros as White Fill - Large but in a smaller font, and the third subsection, No Fill - Small, repeats the symbols found in White Fill - Small. There are five ways shown to indicate Directional Notes. All five begin with “To,” and four use the shield symbols with the black across the top. All the text is italic, and they read as follows: “To Leesburg” on one line and “and [shield 00]” on the next. “To [shield 00] and Frederick” on one line. “To Rohrersville” on one line and “00mi 00km” on the next. “To [shield 00] and” on one line and “Shepherdstown” on the next. “To Purcellville” on one line and “and [shield 00] on the next. Tour Stops Two groups of numbers from zero to 29 are shown. The first set has the numbers in white against a black circle, and the second set has the numbers in white against a blue circle. You Are Here This section begins with, “Use a You Are Here flag for location identification.” Three black callout boxes with white text each read “You Are Here” with arrows pointing down and to the right, up and to the left, or to the left. Locator Symbols Text here reads, “Use locator dots for points of interest and natural features. Use locator squares for structures.” Three sets of symbols are shown. The first has three pairs of boxes, each pair with one solid black and one outlined in black. The first pair is small, the second pair medium, and the lowest pair the largest. This repeats with circles. Below, Town circles are yellow disks outlined in black in small, medium, and large. Directional Arrows and Leaders An arrow with a thin line for a tail curves gently over a second, straight arrow, both pointing right. In the next pair of arrows, the tail flares slightly to the end of the tail. Next are two triangles with notches from their bottom edges. The triangle to the left in this pair is narrower and the other is wider. Text in the heading of both pages reads, “Harpers Ferry Center, Media Services, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior,” and they have the NPS arrowhead logo. Text in the lower right corner of the first page reads, “Wayside Exhibit Standard Map Elements 2006 v1.0 | 07/06 | Page 1.” This footer information repeats for the second page but ends with “Page 2.”
