Week 10

This map shows the four top land owners in Gulf County. This lab was pretty straight forward. It involved creating new shapefiles from the original layer, joining raw data, calculating new values from the attribute table, and summarizing data.

Vector Analysis II 3/22

1) I used the intercept tool with the water buffer and road buffer layers to create a new class from the common intersecting features. There was no difference from its results and the results from the instructions.

2) I used the erase tool to exclude the conservation areas from potential camping sites. I used this tool because it allowed me to create a new featured class that excluded conservation areas.

3) There were 79 features in the layer. The area of the largest feature was 7765034.49356 square meters. The area of the smallest feature was 748.114462 square meters.

Week 7

This Lab involved editing feature shapefiles and classes, and digitizing features using many new ArcMap tools. Although the ESRI virtual campus courses take a lot of time to complete I enjoy doing them because the lessons are thorough and helpful. By the time I finished all four lessons the map was easy to create.
