Georeferencing, Editing, & 3D

 

This is the final map of the project and it shows a 3D map of the UWF data layers that were previously georeferenced. The RMS errors and transformations show some of the background information behind the two georeferenced layers. The legend shows the original data layers, the georeferenced rasters, and the digitized features (highlighted in blue). The unique thing about this map is that it is more interactive and complex. This is exemplified by the tilted North arrow. It was interesting to learn that it is possible to make 3D maps on ArcGIS Pro. I really like this style, and would like to experiment more with it for future endeavors. The biggest complication I had for this map and the other one was trying to separate the digitized features from the layers in the legend. I couldn't figure out how to do it the conventional way, so I got creative and personally added the digitized features separately into the legend. 

Because this lab included two maps, I figured I would go over this one as well. This map features the georeferenced layers and the eagle nest conservation area with a 330ft and 660ft buffer around it. I had to redo so many georeferencing points so many times that I feel like a georeferencing master at this point. I had the same issue with distinguishing the digitized features in the legend. It was nice to practice digitizing features because I already had some prior knowledge of it from my GIS4043 class. This activity served as a nice refresher. The buffer activity was also nice and simple and served as a nice refresher. The main struggles I had with this assignment were arranging things properly in the map, distinguishing the digitized features in the legend, and georeferencing (at first). Overall, I feel like I have a solid foundation over these topics now.
