Final Map

Hello Folks,
This is it, my FINAL blog post, my FINAL map for the course of Introduction to GIS. I must say that I am quite impressed with the work I was able to accomplished in this course. I started out with absolutely no knowledge in using the software ArcMap and I must say I am very impressed with how far I've come. I can even see it in my maps. Comparing my first and last map I can definitely see the different.
So let me tell  you a little about my final map. The main goal for this assignment was to learn how to import tabular data onto my Arcmap worksheet. Tabular data can either be found on an excel spreadsheet or access database. In addition, tabular data can be used to get other data such as X and Y data which represents Latitude and Longitude. To produce this really amazing map we were given a scenario, whereby we were supposed to make a map based on a lawsuit on contaminants and property value of Bayou Texar. We were then given tabular data about the plaintiff's properties, a table containing information on the sample location of the contaminants and lastly  a table containing property values and other parcel values.So basically, to put this map together we had to walk through some practice maps and then with the knowledge gained I was able to produce this map.
Well guys, my last map. Hope you enjoyed visiting my blog. Thank you
