Intro to GIS, Lab 10/11: Vector Analysis 2


For this weeks lab, we started using more of the analysis tools that are available in ArcMap.  The above map provides locations of potential campground sites.  These sites were selected using specific criteria.  The needed to be located within 300 meters of a road, within 150 meters of a lake and/or 500 meters from a river.  There were also some sensitive conservation areas that needed to be avoided.  This lab was interested and I can definitely see how these tools will be not only helpful but essential in a GIS related job.
