LaTeX Geographic Documents: Maps, Cartography, and GIS

Introduction

Geographic documents require map integration and spatial data visualization. LaTeX can incorporate maps and geographic data.

This guide covers geographic document creation in LaTeX.

Map Integration

Including Map Images

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{map-image}
  \caption{Regional Map}
  \label{fig:map}
\end{figure}

Coordinate References

\usepackage{siunitx}

Location: \SI{40.7128}{\degree}N, \SI{74.0060}{\degree}W

Geographic Data Visualization

TikZ Maps

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes.geometric}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \draw (0,0) -- (5,0) -- (5,3) -- (0,3) -- cycle;
  \node at (2.5,1.5) {Region};
\end{tikzpicture}

Conclusion

LaTeX integrates with external map tools and visualizes geographic data.
