Introduction:
These maps utilize base maps from online programs as well as downloaded zip files/shapefiles to
create maps hat now have some real-world relationships. By learning how to download or add
bases, we can map important information over given information or we can make previous
information from the base maps stand out. These following maps show the important buildings,
roads, and recreational spaces in the town of Bellingham. Residential streets are not labeled, as
to not overwhelm the map or the audience with too much information. An Inset map was created
so that the audience knows were the town is relative to other towns and counties in
Massachusetts, but some of the base maps also help with creating a sense of relativity from their
labels.
Mapping Procedure:
Bellinghams outline
5. Write down SHEET_ID number from information pop ups:
a. 201862 201866 201870 201874 205862 205866 205870 205874
209862 209866 209870 209874
(I found this easier than looking at the statewide labeled map)
Download zip files for the ID numbers from MassGIS at http://www.mass.gov/anf/research-andtech/it-serv-and-support/application-serv/office-of-geographic-informationmassgis/datalayers/imquad.html

16. Double click the Bellingham Streets layer, under symbology select Categories Unique
values Value Field: CLASS
17. Click Add All Values
18. Remove Class 5 and 6 and uncheck the all other values box
19. Change size and color so they stand out from basemap and click OK
20. Right click Bellingham Streets layer, copy, and paste two layers
21. Double click the second Bellingham Streets layer and under symbology select Remove All
then Add All Values again
22. Remove Class 1, 3, 6, and uncheck the all other values box
23. Change size and color so they stand out from basemap
24. Create a definition query "STREET_NAM" = 'BLACKSTONE STREET' OR
"STREET_NAM" = 'NORTH STREET' OR "STREET_NAM" = 'MONIQUE DRIVE' OR
"STREET_NAM" = 'HIGH STREET' OR "STREET_NAM" = 'CENTER STREET'
(I know the common streets and connecting streets because I live in the town)
25. Change the Bellingham Streets Layer to Main Streets and Main Streets2
26. Double click the third Bellingham Streets layer and under symbology select Remove All
then Add All Values again
27. Remove Class 1, 3, 4 and uncheck all other values box
28. Change the size and color so that they are similar to the other Main Streets, but smaller in
size
29. Change the third Bellingham Streets Layer to Residential Streets
30. Change the Land Preservation layer to Recreational Fields and create a definition query
"TOWN_ID" = 25
31. View the attribute table and select all values for recreational fields (I know the fields well
because I have used most of the fields before for sports)
32. Write down the POLY_ID for the recreational fields that were selected from the attribute
field
33. Create a definition query for the selected fields "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND "POLY_ID" = 310
OR "POLY_ID" = 260 OR "POLY_ID" = 333 OR "POLY_ID" = 292 OR "POLY_ID" =
260 OR "POLY_ID" = 100 OR "POLY_ID" = 260 OR "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND "POLY_ID"
= 306 OR "TOWN_ID" = 25 AND "POLY_ID" = 311
34. Change the color of the polygons to an appropriate color for recreational fields
35. Change the color of the MA Towns and USA States layers to appropriate colors
36. Under View select Layout View
