Intro to GIS first Lab assignment


During the first lab assignment of the term we practiced file management as well as familiarized ourselves with the various functions of ArcGIS Pro in order to create and export a multi layer map project seen above.

Lab 2 - Coordinate Systems

     Area of interest: Oregon Coordinate System: NAD 1983 Oregon Statewide Lambert (Meters) I chose this projection as it was designed to keep the entire state within one unit. State Plane projections are high accuracy but Oregon lies within multiple zones, UTM also does not cover the entire state within one zone. The statewide Lambert projection avoids both issues while minimizing distortion

Module 1: Map Design & Typography

  Making a Busy Map Readable: Labeling Mexico’s Geography For Parts 4 and 5 of this assignment, the goal was to move beyond simply displaying data and focus on how map design choices affect readability , especially as more features and labels are added. The project started with a simple map of Mexico and its major rivers, then expanded to include states and cities, which made labeling strategy much more important. Part 4: Starting Simple In Part 4, the map focused on Mexico’s national boundary and major rivers. Rivers were symbolized using a standard blue line style and labeled dynamically so the text followed the curves of the rivers. Using italic text and halos helped keep river names readable against different background colors. Because the map was relatively simple at this stage, river labels were allowed to repeat along long features and remain visually prominent. Part 5: Adding More Without Adding Clutter Part 5 made the map more complex by adding states and cities. To p...

Georeferencing / Editing Lab

Image
 Georeferencing / Editing Lab Tasks ▪ Georeference images of UWF Campus ▪ Add new polygon and line features with editing ▪ Hyperlink a photo ▪ Perform a multiple ring buffer ▪ Create a 3D Scene For this weeks lab assignment we were tasked with georeferencing three images of the UWF Campus to create a composite map of the campus as seen below. Additionally we were tasked with adding and creating new polygon and line features of the campus building and road systems. Additionally we were tasked with locating an eagles nest near the campus and creating a multiple ring buffer to denote where a conservation easement will be located as the campus is expanded.  Student Learning Outcomes: ▪ Georeference an unknown raster image of the campus to known vector data (i.e. buildings & roads) ▪ Interpret Residual and Root Mean Square errors ▪ Digitize new building and road features ▪ Practice polynomial transformations ▪ Create hyperlinks in ArcGIS to data stored on a personal drive ▪ Cre...
