Wikipedia:Picture peer review/Antelope Island State Park Map

 
Shaded relief map of Antelope Island State Park, Utah, United States showing predominant features.

I have put many hours of work into this map. This is my second map that I have made for Wikipedia. I am looking for constructive feedback to perhaps get this to a FPC quality image. I always appreciate any feedback that you may give, as cartographic things that appear obvious to me may not for others. And I may have missed some obvious things! Thank you.

  • Looking good! I do have some suggestions. The labels on peaks, springs and Bays and the labels in the key should be in larger fonts. Why are there two different fonts for land features (Unicorn Point and Sea Gulf point, for example)? I think the peaks should have elevation numbers on them. There are no state highways, interstate highways, streams or rivers, so those items should be removed from the key. Why is the road across antelope island bar more major than the road on the causeway? Why does the causeway minor road lead to a major road on the island? Why does the causeway have a visual break in it under the "S" in "Island"? (If that's a bridge, more power to your accuracy.) Why is the visitor center not on the side of the road? (Maybe the point needs to be pointing to a slightly different spot?) The longitude markers on the bottom of the map are peaking out of the dark line into the map. Does the water to the east of Antelope Island have a specific name? As I remember, there are different salinities in different areas, delineated by causeways, and there might be a useful name for that area. The article says that only the North end of the Island is the state park. Is that correct? If not, the article should be corrected, if so, your map should have the park boundary on it. And, last (and least) is there really a feature called Molly's Nipple in Utah? That's so funny. I hope these suggestions are useful. - Enuja (talk) 03:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oooh, much better! Are all of the streams intermittent? I can't see any differences in the lines. If they are all the same thing, you should have only the one type of line in the key, if some of them are constant streams, the line thicknesses/colors should be more distinguishable. The stream south of Picture Rock and the one just north of Sea Gulf point appear to be jumping their canyons (the blue line is next to, not in, the depression). All in all, it's a stunning map. - Enuja (talk) 04:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
