Cartographic masks for map products GAL_120, used for clear annotation and masking unwanted features from report maps.
A shapefile was created for the use of masking data to highlight text.
Method:
* A new polygon shapefile was created with no content
* The shapefile was then populated in an ArcMap editing session by digitizing polygons which surround text.
* ArcMAP's Advanced Drawing Option was then used to mask data behind text.
