ResumoWith the continued development of computing technology traditional map production techniques are no longer used in many large mapping organisations. This new technology has been embraced by the Cartographic Services Branch, Mapping and Survey Division, Department of Land Administration (DOLA) in Western Australian. All new map products are now being produced using computer assisted map production technology and maps originally produced by traditional means are progressively being converted to digital form. One of the most recent mapping projects undertaken by DOLA has been its contribution to the West Australian Travellers Atlas, a road guide of Western Australia, produced as a joint venture with Countryman, West Australian Newspapers. The atlas has been produced utilising Intergraph and Apple computing technology and a combination of software packages which include Microstation PC, Aldus FreeHand, QuarkXPress, Adobe Photoshop, Altsys Fontographer and INposition, an extension to QuarkXPress. This paper is a review of the design and production techniques and methodologies used the atlas.
