Applications in GIS

DHS Critical Infrastructure

I found this to be an interesting analysis, locating the visible and non-visible lines of site, this is definitely a useful tool in an infrastructure analysis. I also never knew a graph could be made from the graphic lines. Very interesting.

I chose to add a few extra features to this map, to better show the area we were dealing with. I also tried labeling the hospital sites but decided it looked much to cluttered, so I chose to label them using the FID# and label them in the margin.

For Deliverable 2, I chose to display the landmark point features and I created a map for the exported image. I also included the roads in the map for reference only.

For deliverable 1 I chose to just make a map of the Bay Area Urban Areas and display the areas using a different shade for the legend.

Visual Assessment
For this one, I chose to do a side by side map of both, I had really wanted to make each frame the same size, but because the 3D view was a jpeg, it was impossible to size them both equally to fit on the map. I also chose to zoom in on the AOI on the 3D map to give an idea of what area would be most affected, rather than show the entire campus. I was really just experimenting with some different things to try to make the map more interesting. I hope this was ok to do for this assignment and it won't negatively affect my grade.

Hurricane Katrina

One of the things that challenged me about this map was figuring out why my graph would not display when I went back into the layout. I finally figured out that the classes had to be selected in the attribute table in order to show up in the graph.
