Arizona Counties

Map Projection: UTM, Zone 12Sabrina Nusrat

Feb 1, 2016

Figure 1: A map of Arizona counties.

In this lab, we added map layers to a map project in ArcMap. Then we changed thedata layer symbol properties, created a map layout, created a locator (inset) map. Finally,we added a title, scale bar, and north arrow.

Figure 2: Digitized map

In this lab, we digitized an air photo of a neighborhood in southeast Macomb, Illinois.We created a polygon shapefile for Structures, a polyline shapefile for Streams, and a pointshapefile called trees. Using these polygons, polylines, and points, we digitized the map.

3 Data Entry Report

Figure 3: Data entry for Wyoming counties

In this lab, we worked with data for thematic mapping that came from a variety ofsources. In particular, we added a field to an attribute table, sort records in an attributetable, and joined data tables. Finally, we created a table report.

Figure 4: Choropleth map showing the cell phone use in European nations in 2006

In this lab we visualized the cell phone use in European nations with a choropleth map.We classified the data (subscription per 100 people) in five classes using Natural Breaks(Jenks).
