    This document provides step-by-step instructions for georeferencing a map in ArcMap. It describes 18 steps: 1) adding a map to ArcMap, 2) changing the coordinate system to WGS 1984, 3) adding at least 4 control points at the map corners, 4) updating the georeferencing, 5) locating portions of the map by adding additional data and linking control points between maps. The purpose is to link maps to real-world coordinates so their geographic features can be accurately located and analyzed in ArcMap.

    First of all open ArcMap and Click on “Add Data” as shown in the figure.

    1. After that, select a map from the “App Data


    Window” and click on “Add”.

    2. After clicking on Add, click on Ok and the


    selected map will be loaded as shown the
    figure.
    3. The arbitrary or unknown units need to be changed to
    geographic units.

    4. So right-click on layers, click on properties, click on coordinate


    system. From the window, expand the Geographic Coordinate
    Systems, then expand the World and select the “WGS 1984”
    and click on OK.

    5. The arbitrary or unknown units are changed to Decimal


    Degrees.

    6. The control points are required to link this map to the actual world and at least four control
    points should be provided. These control points should be at the corners of the map and should
    be given either in a clockwise or anticlockwise way.

    7. To establish the control points, first enlarge the corner points


    of the map by selecting the “Zoom In” and click on the place
    where control points will be given.
    8. From the “Georeferencing Tab”, select the
    “Add Control Points” option.

    9. Place the cursor on the enlarged point and click on


    it. There will be a plus sign as shown. Now right-
    click the same point and select the second option
    as shown.

    10. Enter the longitude and latitude data and


    select East, North and click on OK.

    11. The map will disappear and click on “Full Extent” to bring it
    back.

    12. Establish all the four control points


    as shown.
    13. You can check data for the control points by clicking on the “View Link Table

    14. Now click on “Update Georeferencing” to update


    the control points and save your work by simply
    pressing “ctrl+S”.

    15. To locate any portion of the map, for example, any


    province or district, simply download it from
    internet and click on “Add Data” to open it in the
    “ArcMap”. The map will be loaded but will not be
    shown. So simply go to the layers and right-click on
    the map icon and click on “Zoom To Layer”.

    16. The map of the portion which is to be linked to the


    georeferenced map will be shown.
    17. Now select four corner points from the portion by simply enlarging the sharp edges and select
    the “Add Control Points”. Now click on the enlarge point from the portion and drag the cursor to
    the exactly same point of the georeferenced map. After locating all the four points from the
    portion to the georeferenced map. The portion is georeferenced on the main map as shown in
    the figures below. It seems like it has become connected to the map. And we can see that within
    the country, where exactly this province is. Below are figures which explain the georeferencing
    of the second map over the first map.
    18. If you deselect one layer, that layer will be disappeared and you can see the difference in the
    figures below.
