GIS4043 Final Project - Bobwhite-Manatee Project

Below are links to my final project presentation and write-up regarding the Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line Project. I really liked this final as it helped tie together many of the things we learned over the semester. I have a much better understanding of GIS and its application after this semester.

Week 11 Lab - Module 1 3D Analyst

Tin Map
The 3D capabilitites of ArcGIS amaze me. This was a simple map to make but the extensions from this base map through the vitural course was very informative.


Week 11 Lab - Module 1 Spatial Analyst

Image 3. Model Builder
The model builder is a neat tool, it is awesome that you can build a model with graphics and then run the model from that graphic interpretation.




Map 4. Vegetation Reclassification
Again, this was an educational exercise that showed how powerful some of the arc toolbox items can be in making work easier.


Week 11 Lab - Module 1 Labels and Annotations

Map 1. Final Cities and Roads Map of Greater Tampa Area
This map was fun to do, I learned a lot about labeling with weights, scaling, label manager etc.



Map 2. Recreation Map of Greater Tampa Area
This lab I liked learning how to apply custom labels and use the callout options.

Vector Analysis II Lab

1. Which tool did you use? Intersect
Was there any noticeable difference between its results and the results from the instruction? No, in both cases I had 4 matches. However, the resulting maps were different. The intersect only displayed areas water and road buffer overlapped.
2. Which tool did you use here and why? Erase overlay since I wanted to exclude the conservation areas from my search
3. How many features are in this layer? 79 features
What is the area of the largest feature? 7,765,034 sq meters
What is the area of the smallest feature? 748 sq meters

Lab 6 UWF Campus Edited

Here is my Lab 6. This lab was a great exercise in editing layers. I need to practice more but I can see how editing can be a powerful tool in keeping maps and layers up to date.
