Dear Maps-L Associates,
We have a patron with the following inquiry. Any assistance appreciated.
Please reply directly to the patron, as below.
Many thanks,
Brian
I am looking for a list of map symbols related to Parks & Recreation.
I
have scoured the internet and struck out talking with WA's professional
association and so once again I turn to you and your esteemed colleagues
on the list serves for direction. As far as I can tell, the Recreation
and Parks Professional Association does not have standard symbology.
The Minnesota DNR has a wonderful ArcView extension of Recreation
Symbols in True Type Font available at
http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/extensions/RecSym/recsy
m.html
Unfortunately, it does not work on the Unix platform. Does anyone
know if these symbols are available as graphics? Does anyone know
if
there is a list stating which keys relate to which symbol?
I have yet to find standard symbols for hiking trails, bicycle
paths,
etc. It was suggested I try the USGS Topo symbols
http://mac.usgs.gov/mac/isb/pubs/booklets/symbols/moreinformation.html
but this doesn't help. Any ideas?
Finally, I have yet to find a standard classification system for
park
categories (regional, neighborhood, community, open space, etc).
Of
course, in the Planning profession, we have a standard land-use
classification system (which I also can't put my finger on). Is
there
not one for P&R?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
