Data Search and Collection

ORANGE WALK
Hey folks,
The above image is the district of Orange Walk in Belize, Central America. This map is depicting settlements, roads, water bodies and protected areas that are located in Orange Walk. This map is very significant to me because I did majority of it all on my own. My lecturer gave us an outline of the information he wanted on the map and where these information could have been found. However, I choose what information I wanted to show and how I wanted to represent them.
 This activity was quite interesting. For the most part I enjoyed doing it because I got to interact and experiment more with the program ArcMap in  order to produce the map. I got to apply knowledge learnt in previous classes and I also learnt new techniques such as using the Clip Tool. Overall the activity was very educational because it allowed me to become familiar with the program and I am now more comfortable using it.
