Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are built upon knowledge from geography, cartography, computer science and mathematics.
Map Features • Point - Features that either represent the location of a feature that has no dimensions or a feature that has width and length but whose perimeter cannot be mapped at the defined map scale. • Line - Sets of connected points that represent a feature that either has no width or that has width but is shown by a single line at the scale of the map being used. • Area - Features delineated by closed boundaries.
