What do you mean "de-code"? Do you just want to know how to load them into ArcGIS?– SpacedmanCommented Jan 22, 2016 at 13:46

If i understood you correct, then you want to make a shapefile?
When you have loaded your base layer map into the chosen GIS software, then you build a map by locking up the layer and editing it with your chosen vector or point. There you also apply attributes.

What are your resources of geographical reference? If you have looked at the link, that explains how to make points, lines, polygons and saving them to be a shapefile. - if you have, then i kindly ask you do make a more detailed explanation of what you want to do. For example you can add pictures or videos that might illustrate what you want to achieve.– MichaelRCommented Jan 24, 2016 at 14:36
