The above map shows the top four acreage owners in Gulf County, FL. I did not encounter too much trouble with the lab instructions. I found the process of summing the acreage interesting and something I'm sure I will use in the future.

Week 9: Vector Analysis 2

The above map was created following instructions for the Week 9: Vector Analysis 2 lab. It shows the possible campgrounds for a state a park that meets the criteria outlined in the lab exercise. I enjoyed this lab and I believe the skills learned in this lab will no doubt be used again.

Lab Answers:

1. I used the intersect tool. I did not see a noticeable difference between the union and intersect files.

2. I used the erase tool. I used this tool because I knew it would allow me to erase the conservation areas and would leave me with only possible areas for the campground.

3. 79 features are present in this layer. The largest feature is 7,765,034 square meters while the smallest is 5,656 square meters.
