waterbodies. Area lightness was set to maintain contrast with white roads and darker gray boundaries and land/water distinctions. Figure 7. Final regional locator design style and layout feature the use of color relationship between scales. Regional locator of the Guggenheim in New York City shown at approximately half scale. In general, there is a dark to light hierarchical flow between map elements and features that intuitively underscore the geographic relationships for each nominated site through different scales. At the same time, background elements utilized a reversed light to dark contrasting hierarchical flow to help balance out the bold and high contrast locator that was requested by the dossier designer. Ancillary Maps Construction Ancillary maps for the project include the national locator and other maps that were constructed to supplement the common cartographic products. These supplemental maps include the topographic maps for rural sites, the city locators, and district maps for urban sites. During later stages of the project, it was recommended by the NPS representatives that topographic maps should be additionally generated for Fallingwater, Taliesin, and Taliesin West because of their generally rural surroundings. Accordingly, additional GIS data that included leaf-off orthoimages and DEMs for each site were obtained from the USGS National Map Viewer platform. The DEM for each site was used to generate contours, curvature and hillshades for each site. The hillshade and curvature layers were overlaid on top of the orthoimages at 85 percent and 80 percent transparencies respectively. Contours were classed using a 20-meter interval, with index contours every 100 meters. The lines were symbolized using the same light green (CMYK 8, 0, 30, 0) hue that was used to symbolized the city extents in the main map frame of the regional locators. As illustrated in Figure 8, this combination produces visually pleasing topographic maps for each site that provide subtle terrain form to the orthoimages in addition to the labeled contours. Similarly, it was determined during critiques by the NPS that intermediate level city locators would be beneficial for the Guggenheim Museum, Hollyhock House, and Robie House given their urban settings. These city locators were between the site maps and the regional locators at an intermediate scale. The design of these city locators was based on the design used for the site maps. The process of constructing these locators involved
