Symbology layer files: Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas

Symbology layer files developed in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro for the purpose of visualizing geomorphological codes using predefined color palettes.

Supplemental material for: Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas, Matheus G.G. De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps in 2020, revisions made in 2021.These layer files will produce the complete geomorphological legend, even when all geomorphological units are not present in the dataset. When visualizing results, we recommend the following optimal scale ranges: 1:2,500 - 1:10,000 for Tier 3, 1:10,001 to 1:30,000 for Tier 2 and ≥ 1:30,001 for Tier 1.The complete set of layer files ("Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 1", "Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 2" and "Geomorphological Map Vorarlberg - Tier 3") are intended to visualize output of a model that creates tiers (columns) of geomorphological features (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in the landscape of Vorarlberg, Austria, each with an increasing level of detail.
