Download USA Native American Reservation Lands Shapefile Data

The Indian reservation system was created to keep Native Americans off of lands that European Americans wished to settle. The reservation system allowed indigenous people to govern themselves and to maintain some of their cultural and social traditions. The Dawes Act of 1887 destroyed the reservation system by subdividing tribal lands into individual plots.

Following classes of land reservation are established in USA

Indian Reservation Area
Alaska Native Village Statistical Areas
Hawaiian Home Lands
Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas
State Recognized Reservations
State Designated Tribal Statistical Areas
Tribal Designated Statistical Areas

There are 326 Indian Reservations in the United States.[1] Most of the tribal land base in the United States was set aside by the federal government as Native American Reservations. In California, about half of its reservations are called rancherías. In New Mexico, most reservations are called Pueblos. In some western states, notably Nevada, there are Native American areas called Indian colonies.

Alaska Natives previously had many small reserves scattered around Alaska; however, all but one (the Annette Island Reserve of Tsimshian) were repealed with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971.

There are Hawaiian home land, area held in trust for Native Hawaiians by the state of Hawaii under the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921.

Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Area is a statistical entity identified and delineated by federally recognized American Indian tribes in Oklahoma as part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2010 Census and ongoing American Community Survey.

A state designated American Indian reservation is the land area designated by a state for state-recognized American Indian tribes who lack federal recognition.

A tribal designated statistical area is a statistical entity identified and delineated for the Census Bureau by a federally recognized American Indian tribe that does not currently have a federally established Indian reservation.

Use Sentinel hub in QGIS 3.2.1 – Remote Sensing

Sentinel Hub is perfect source for satellite data. Here in this post we are providing pictorial tutorial on how to use sentinel hub in QGIS 3.2.1. You can also download Sentinel without using plugin check download free satellite images from satellite.

You can view your image in our tool MAPOG Tool (supports geotiff)

Use Sentinel hub in QGIS 3.2.1 – Procedure

Sentinel hub plugin helps you to confiqure directly the sentinel hub images in qgis. It makes your study more easy.

Go to Plugins in QGIS window and tap on manage and install plugins.

2. Search and select Sentinel Hub and install it

3. After installing Sentinel Hub, Sentinel hub plugin icon will be visible on toolbar.

4. Click on Sentinel Hub Plugin icon. Following will window open. Now fill your instance ID .

5. You can find your instance id at Sentinel Hub Configuration Utility. If you don’t have account on Sentinel Hub, you can apply for trial account of sentinel hub . And take benefit of its service for some days.

6. You can add new configuration according to your requirement. Also able to create configuration from existing one like simple WMS instance. You can use template instances like sentinel-1 template, digital elevation model, full landsat- 8 instance etc.

7. After instance id you can fill other parameters for rendering. Select the layer for required instance. Also select the CRS (Coordinate Reference System). Select the the time range or exact date.

8. It will take time but image will be turn up on QGIS canvas.

9. After rendering you can also download the image in different formats i.e. PNG, JPEG, 8-bit TIFF etc. You can set resolution and also can save current visible window or custom window.

QGIS 3.2.1- Download/export map in PDF, SVG, Image

In the previous session we learn about creating basic map. Today we throw light on QGIS 3.2.1- Download/export map in PDF, SVG, Image.

Try our tool for creating interactive maps without writing a single code. MapOG Tool

QGIS 3.2.1- Download/export map

First add a vector layer from exercise data (we are using). If want to use data from other sources like Google Map or bing.

Or else download sample data for study-

QGIS allows you to create multiple map from single layer. For creating map layout. Go to project >>>New print layout

Once you choose New Print Layout a dialog box will appear for a tittle.

A new screen will be open for map layout. Add a new map to the layout from left side icon from tool box.

Or, Add item>> Add Map and hold the left mouse button and drag the rectangle. Map will be rendered on the layout.

QGIS 3.2.1 – Adding a tittle

Your map is looking good but without tittle it seems like food without salt. So, lets add some elements in map.

Click on this icon for adding tittle.
Click on the page, move near the map where you want to place tittle. A dummy text will be shown “lorem ipsum” as a default. You can change text by first selecting item and then expand the label tab in layer properties. You can enter text as html also.

You can Resize the label according to your choice.

QGIS – Adding Legend

For making the map more understandable to the readers you can add legend. Go to Add item and tap add legend or by selecting the icon.

And click on the page, where you want to place it.

QGIS – Add a scalebar

Go to Add item and select add scale bar.

Click on the layout where you want to put scale. You can customize it in item properties. (make sure to select the item first)

QGIS – Export Map as SVG, Image and PDF

Try MapOG Tool for creating beautiful map and export map into PDF and Image

When you finally done with all the requirements of map, you can easily export map by buttons provided in the layout toolbar. If you want to print then it also can done with print button.

You can exports as following formats:

Export as Image
Export as SVG
Export as PDF

You can export map as image in PNG, BMP, CUR, TIFF, JPEG etc.

SVG format is best for cartographer because editing of map require for publication. SVG stands for “Scalable Vector Graphic”.

PDF format is easy going for clients so that they get print the pdf if they require.

So, today we learn about the print layout map option in QGIS 3.2.1. If you encounter any problem in doing then comment.

In the previous article Layer labeling in QGIS we learn about the basic labeling of layer. Today in this session we touch Pin/unpin labels, move labels and diagrams, resize labels of layer using QGIS 3.2.1

Resize labels of layer

In the map you find find that the labels are not appropriately formatted and either overlap or are too far away from their point markers. You can change label font size in points/mm/pixels.

Go to the Layer styling

You can reach layer styling dialog box by three ways:

Choosing layer icon on label toolbar or by choosing labeling from layer menu and third by right click on layer.

Increase and decrease font size.

Move labels and Diagrams

Choose Move label icon from layer styling panel. Before this make sure toggle editing is activated.

After choosing, you are able to move label or diagram on canvas of QGIS. By this method you can move labels individually. Its quite time consuming if we want to shift or move labels.

For all the labels go to Labels > Placement

You can change the value of distance and click apply.

Change Labels or Rename

Select change label icon from label toolbar

After activating go to the label and drag

Change the label and click on apply.

Print your labelled Map

Pin/unpin Label in Qgis

Pinning means label at its current position. You can choose pin and unpin from icon from label tool bar. You can highlight the pinned label.
