A collection of maps for publications, presentations and the web. All data and maps are provided and can be accessed and edited with Open Source tools, namely QGIS and Inkscape.
- The QGIS project file swabian_jura.qgz is in the master branch. The project is linked to a geopackage swabian_jura.gpkg, which contains all the data.
- QGIS Styles with signatures and labels are listed in folder styles
- The rendered maps can be found in export as PNG and SVG.
- A web map is under development.
This print map measures 120x80 mm at 300 dpi, which is suitable for printing on a ISO-A4 page in portrait orientation. Topography is represented by a Diercke-style elevation with both analytical and combined hillshading. Types are in Open Sans 6-8pt. Sites are numbered and have the most distinguishable labels. Only the Danube and relevant rivers are labeled.
- Whole extent with labels
- Eastern section with labels
- Editable layers in the Export folder

Map of the Swabian Jura for presentations
A web map with basic GIS functions is currently under development. First results include data integration of geojson files, a legend with basemap selection and layer control, a Pop Up functionality to display feature properties.
