This project is on the production of a Street Guide Map of Part of Auchi town in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State. The remote sensing method of map production was adopted for this project. Geo-referenced satellite imagery was downloaded in WGS84 datum and was saved in Geo-Tiff file format from Terra Incognita. The image was imported, and re-projected into Minna/UTM zone 32 and mosaicked in ArcGis 10.3 software environment, which was printed in A0 paper size and was used during ground-truthing. Garmin GPS60 was used to obtain the coordinates of well-located points which were identified on the printed satellite image and used to verify the accuracy of the georeferenced image. Layers were created and the features were digitized into their respective layers, some simple queries were carried out to test the database such as identification of hotels along the major road, the position of a particular school e.t.c. Map annotation and compilation were done, and at the end, a street guide map of part of Auchi Town was printed on A0 paper size at a scale of 1:10,000. In conclusion, the newly updated map can serve as a base map for other applications such as tourism navigation, urban planning, development traffic studies and control, crime monitoring, utility management, etc.
