Colour and black and white photos and monochromatic drawings were converted into digital files by means of electronic scanners. Data files for map manuscripts, text materials from contributors were transmitted over the internet or by means of electronic mail, and digital files for the completed plates sent to the printer by the same means. Changing socioeconomic conditions in regions adjacent to NPS units can affect resource management and visitor use within these parks. Hence, park managers need systematic information about socioeconomic trends. Such information can be used to anticipate complex management challenges that originate outside park boundaries.
Maps are powerful tools to help managers visualize spatial patterns related to socioeconomic trends.
