This is another example of how powerful and useful Local GIS maps are becoming. The City of Naperville is still learning how to use this capability but they are also far ahead of most of the cities I have worked with.
The Local Government Basemaps template is a set of ArcGIS Map Documents that can be used to author the essential basemaps in a local government. The templates will help one to publish a series of high-quality basemaps using available authoritative content. These basemaps are the foundation for a variety of desktop, mobile and web mapping applications deployed throughout local government. The General Purpose and Parcel Public Access basemaps at two different scales.
The Local Government basemaps provide a consistent geographic context needed across all local government departments and agencies. They provide important reference information that supports daily decision-making. The basemaps orient map users and are typically combined with other map layers that represent operational information managed by a department and/or agency within local government. In some cases though, the basemaps themselves may serve as a finished product that can be used in a map atlas or other hardcopy product.
I was not quite sure what was expected in the lab so I made a map from the base map created in this part of the lab.
