Week 12 - Wolf Creek Map Creations – Arc GIS Pro Layouts
This lab focused on creating cartographically correct maps using UAS data from the Wolf Creek site. The goal was to take processed raster products and present them as clear, functional maps that meet standard cartographic requirements rather than simple aerial images.Week 12 Wolf Creek Map Creation…
The first map created was a shaded Digital Surface Model (DSM) with a transparent DSM overlaid on top. Hillshading was used to emphasize surface relief, and a locator map was included to show the site’s location within Wisconsin.

The second map used the orthomosaic and displayed the locations of ground control points across the site. Detailed inset views were added to show each GCP location more clearly within the imagery.

Overall, this lab shoes the importance of map design and layout when working with UAS data. By adding cartographic elements and organizing information, raw imagery and surface models were turned into usable geographic products that communicates these maps effectively.
