In this week's lab, I created a map to clearly mark the location of the University of West Florida. This map includes symbols (defined in the legend) to indicate that UWF is situated in Escambia County, near Interstate 10 and the City of Pensacola. An insert map in the upper right corner shows Escambia County within the State of Florida.
Location of the University of West Florida in Escambia County, Florida.
In this lesson, I learned to locate and review metadata and file sources, a practice important for establishing data accuracy and the origins of geographic information. I practiced changing map projections, helpful in understanding different coordinate systems. Using the clipping tool, I created new shapefiles, allowing me to focus on points of interest in Escambia County.
By combining the skills I have accumulated in the course to date, I created a functional and informative map.
