Map of The Wild Center

A Flexible Mapping Foundation for Trails, Exhibits, and a Changing Visitor Campus

Overview

The Wild Center's campus includes trails, buildings, outdoor exhibits, waterways, and seasonal attractions that continue to evolve. The organization needed a map that could orient today's visitors without becoming obsolete as the campus changes. Green Goat Maps created a detailed, georeferenced base map designed to function as the foundation for future visitor maps, interpretive products, kiosks, and printed materials.

Scope of Work

To meet The Wild Center's needs, Green Goat Maps was contracted to map the campus, trails, infrastructure, protected lands, waterways, seasonal exhibits, and major points of interest; create a locator inset for visitor orientation; and establish a cartographic base that could support later illustration and interpretive-design phases.

Key Deliverables

The resulting basemap brings trails, exhibits, facilities, natural features, and visitor infrastructure into one consistent cartographic system. The design can be adapted for printed maps, kiosks, brochures, and digital applications as the Center's communication needs evolve.

Challenges & Solutions

A static map of a dynamic campus can become outdated quickly. Green Goat Maps therefore treated the project as a mapping system rather than a one-time illustration. Georeferenced data and a scalable design structure allow trails, exhibits, and infrastructure to be updated while maintaining the overall visual language.

Results & Client Value

The Wild Center now has a reusable mapping foundation that can support both visitor orientation and future interpretive storytelling. Rather than rebuilding maps for each new application, the organization can extend an established cartographic framework across multiple formats.
