I had a very difficult time completing this lab. The problems I had completing this first map was finding shapefiles in the right format that were not too large. Some files had so much detail that it would block any other layer displayed on the map. The map on the left shows hydrology, roads, railroads, and cities. The map on the right displays public land, invasive plants, and habitat conservation areas. I grouped related layers in two separate maps to reduce clutter.
I had more troubles with this map than the previous one. The DEM file coverter that I downloaded would not recoginized my file. I downloading a couple different converters to find one that worked, but none did. Eventually I found a way to unzip the files with out using a program. I also had trouble figuring out how to display the DEM file in arcmap. It first appeared as a large empty block, in order to display the data I had to go into symbology click custom and connect the data with the image.
