Week 10 Lab

This is a map of the major land owners in Gulf County Florida. This map was very straight forward and simple to create. It gave some very good tips on querying and analyzing data. I can see using some of the skills I learned in this lab in future projects for my job.

Vector Analysis II

This is a map showing possible campground locations within a state forest. The intersect tool proved to be the easiest way to combine to different buffer layers by using only one step.

Questions

1. Which tool did you use? Was there any noticeable difference between its results and the results from the instructions? The intersect tool. There was not noticeable differences between the 2 results.


2. Which tool did you use here? Why? I used the erase tool because it allowed me to use the conservation layer to "erase" areas where it intersected with the possible sites layer.

3. How many features are in this layer? What is the area of the largest feature? What is the area of the smallest feature? There are 79 features in this layer. The largest feature is 1918.8 acres and the smallest feature is 0.2 acres.

Data Editing

This is a map of the UWF campus that shows roads, athletic fields, and buildings. This was a very simple lab that showed how to digitize features. I had to be aware of how close I was zoomed in to properly digitize the buildings and athletic fields in order to only draw the building and not the shadows. I used the snapping feature for the roads to make sure there were no gaps in my data.
