Owning ones work is essential for progression.
This weeks introGIS lab had us creating a vector based map that showed the location of ,our very own, University of West Florida and where it resides within the confines of Escambia County. Working with two layers a primary was set using a map of Escambia County highlighting nearby major rivers, interstates, and towns/cities that lead to UWF. A secondary layer was used to frame a small map of the state of Florida, in it's entirety, with a highlight indicating the location of Escambia County within the state boundaries. New methods and techniques that were learned over the course of this lab included query building to select specific data within a layer, more in depth metadata research, switching between layout and data view, altering symbols and their orientations/positioning and creating a page layout. These skills seem like they will be foundational in future map making projects utilizing arcGIS and arcmaps.
