Lab 6: Geospatial & State Lines
The main focus of this lab was getting comfortable with ArcGIS Pro's geospatial tools, specifically working with point data and classifications.
The first map shows the Kodiak Island Cities , which involved bringing in a point feature dataset and overlaying it onto a base map with real-world coordinates. It sounds simple on paper, but getting the data to sit correctly in geographic space and display in a meaningful way takes more attention to detail than you'd expect going in.
The second shifts the focus to population distribution across different parts of Minnesota and Western Wisconsin, using point classifications to visualize how population varies across the region. It's a good example of how the same basic tool point data can tell a very different story depending on what attribute you're mapping and how you classify it.
The most technically demanding part of the assignment was building the topology watershed map in the stillwater wetlands map. The tools involved weren't ones that had come up much before, so there was a real learning curve in figuring out the right workflow and what the output was actually supposed to look like. But getting through that kind of unfamiliar territory is where most of the lasting learning happens.
This was a pretty solid lab to help me further develop my arcpro skillset and I can see how these will become useful in the future.
