A map is one of the final products of surveying. This is of many types and uses. A digital map of
primary schools is a thematic map which shows the location, distribution, the number of private and public
schools in a given area and other relevant information. At the present, such a map for Kaduna is not available.
This project aims at producing a digital map showing the location of all private and public primary schools
within Kaduna metropolis to aid planning and decision making. The project was carried out with the aid of
handheld GPS receiver as a tool for the field data collection and the use of a digital map of Kaduna town as a
base map on which the positions of these schools were plotted. The plotting was done using ArcGIS.
Key words: Arc GIS, digital map and thematic map, GPS receiver, satelites, , ,
