But cherry blossoms appear throughout D.C., not just the Tidal Basin. So, I decided to create an interactive map of the whole city. To start, I created a custom point symbol in ArcGIS Pro and then uploaded it for use in ArcGIS Online. Here\u2019s how I did it…<\/p>\n

Sourcing the data<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The data was sourced from the National Park Service<\/a> (NPS) and DC Open Data<\/a>, and I filtered the data to only highlight trees with the word \u2018cherry\u2019 as part of the common name. This means that species that are not Japanese flowering trees are included. Locals and tourists often look for trees with bright pink flowers to take photos of, so I chose to include more options.<\/p>\n

It is important to note the NPS dataset is from 2021, so it does not include the recent removal of trees<\/a> or the addition of new saplings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Designing the symbol in ArcGIS Pro<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I designed a symbol in ArcGIS Pro by stacking multiple shape markers to construct a symbol that looked like a cherry blossom. In the Structure tab<\/a> of the Symbology pane I added multiple Marker layers, so that I could stack different shapes on top of each other.<\/p>\n

Designing the web map<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It can be tempting to try to show every single detail in a map, particularly web maps, but cartographic thinking is critical for designing a map that is understandable and helpful at multiple scales.<\/p>\n

For the small scale, or \u201czoomed out\u201d, map I aggregated the data to visualize where there are many cherry blossom trees, versus less. This way viewers can choose a neighborhood of interest to explore in more detail at a larger scale (i.e. \u201czoomed in\u201d).<\/p>\n
