3. 2
   + Communities of Use: Objective
    Provide an efficient, ‘one-stop shopping’ approach to secure GIS-
   ready map data configured to US Topo layout and cartographic
   specifications
    Originated with Geologic Mapping Community Of Use (COU)
   (2011 time frame); Applicable to
    Geologic Mapping and Geologic Hazards (GMH) COU
    Natural Resources Conservation (NRC) COU
    Water Resources COU
    USGS scientists
    Private industry

4. 3
   + Topo TNM Style Template: Description
    Delivered as a zip file via TNM Web Site (BETA)
    ArcMap MXD
    US Topo cartographic specifications
    Layout, labeling, and symbology
    Service links for imagery and shaded relief layers
    Ancillary Data and Files
    Tailoring Instructions
    Publicly available MGRS data for representing US National
   Grid and Zone Designations in marginalia
    NGTOC-produced table containing data for manually tailoring
   the map layout
    To best emulate the US Topo Map:
    Download Topo Combined Vector Product and use shaded
   relief and imagery services from TNM Viewer
    Use the single template for any 7.5-minute Area of Interest

   (complex features) database
    State and national footprints
    Topo Combined Vector Product*: with TNM Derived Names*
    Content: Filtered and enriched content extracted from
   Gazetteer multi-point database
    7.5-min footprint
   *Note: production of these products is in progress

8. 7
   + Continued Research
    Long Term Continued R&D (FY15-18)
    Pennsylvania State University Research
    Improve label placement and MXD performance
    Evaluation of multi-scale data, generalization, and cartographic
   designs
    Evaluate extension of current production system
    Evaluation of Esri Product On Demand (POD) server technology to
   extend export of tailored products
    Formats; Esri map packet and other formats (e.g. GeoTIFF)
    Additional product scales and AOIs
    Evaluate OGC GeoPackage
