KAT-itudes & Gratitudes

KAT's System Map Brochure Awarded Top Honors

The 2010 Knoxville Area Transit (KAT) System Map garnered first place for "Best Cartographic Presentation" at the annual TNGIC East Tennessee Regional GIS Conference held Oct. 8, 2010, at the University of Tennessee. Hornsby Brand Design designed the piece then worked closely with MPC GIS Specialist Ryan Justice to create the map portion of KAT’s System Map brochure, which features KAT’s 25 fixed routes integrated with realistic terrain features. This feat was accomplished by combining KGIS* base-map data with an innovative hillshading technique pioneered by National Park Service Cartographers.
