GIS Data Search Lab


This is a map of Hendry County in south Florida. I found data from multiple sources such as the GIS Data Depot, FDGL, and LABINS. Getting the data was fairly easy, but displaying it on the map in a way that was easy on the eyes was a little more difficult. In order to get all the data displayed on a single map I used transparency combined with colors that contrast. I made sure that colors did not contrast too much so that your eye is not drawn to one particular part of the map, but were different enough to separate the different features.

  1. Hey Eric,

    Nice job, but I'm not quite sure you have the right DEM. All I see is a pink box.
