NWGIS Cartography

chehbsns.jpg (47371 bytes) A picture is worth a thousand words, and an impressive set of maps can be an effective tool for communicating complex study results clearly and concisely while providing visual impact. We're living in a fast-paced, media-saturated world where colorful graphics are expected for a professional product and are essential in order to grab the attention of your expected audience. If high quality maps are important to your project, you've come to the right place. NWGIS prides itself in producing some of the best cartographic products in the Pacific Northwest. On the two occasions that we entered the poster contest at the Northwest ARC/INFO User Conference, we received third place and second place awards, competing against large state and local government agencies and other prominent GIS consulting firms. We take special care to ensure that every map we produce is attractive, readable, and clearly conveys the desired information. We're especially noted for the quality of our small-format maps (8綞11" or 11x17"). We have proprietary tools and procedures that enable us to use PC graphics software in conjunction with ARC/INFO data and a high-resolution color inkjet printer to produce the best small-format maps around.
