Geocoding Florida Schools

-

 



Geocoding is a powerful tool in Arc GIS Pro. We can locate areas of interest using X and Y coordinates, or we can just take an address of a location to map a point. In order to do this, we need to run a tool called "geocode" and use an address locator. Arc GIS Pro with an organization account will have the Arc GIS locator caked in to find locations based on coordinates or address. For this map in particular, I created our own address locator unique to Brevard County, Florida. I then geocoded all of the schools located in the county. 16 were unmatched, which required me as the GIS analyst to rematch them by fining their correct coordinate. Now we have the map displayed above, with all of the schools located in Brevard County. We projected the data to a more local datum for NAD 1983 HARN State Plane East Florida in U.S. feet.

TIN's vs. DEM's: 3D Elevation Models In Arc GIS Pro

 Elevation Models For GIS Today we are going to run through some analysis of comparing Digital Elevation Models (DEM's) to Triangular Irregular Networks (TIN's) using Arc GIS Pro.   One of the main differences between TIN's and DEM's, is that a DEM file is raster based, whereas a TIN elevation model is vector based. In GIS, we can use TIN's and DEM's to analyze elevation of local areas or global even to conduct slope analysis, aspect ratio, terrain mapping, and solve complex problems.  Using a DEM to Develop a Ski Run Suitability Map In the example below, we are identifying where an engineering firm would place a ski run for a resort in an area based on elevation, slope, and aspect parameters. We used the weighted overlay tool to combine 3 reclassified rasters of elevation at a high altitude, slope at a high pitch, and aspect for a SW positioning with given percentages of weight.   25% aspect  40% elevation  35% slope This was our result: As you can see, we c

Laying a Transmission Line in Southwest Florida https://arcg.is/1rWWj0 Story Map located at link  above https://drive.google.com/file/d/1apwrzjN_4JMhQCrrX17Cd1S3pF6W4FT9/view?usp=sharing Transcript for project located at the link above https://arcg.is/1azbO41 Web-map located at the link above A transmission line must be constructed and installed between the Manatee and Sarasota Counties, located in southwestern Florida. This project's objective is to provide electricity to the community east of I-75 for residential and commercial use. Depicted below is a cartographic model to solve this complex problem. The Transmission Line product Deliverables For the first part of this project, the homes that are within proximity of the preferred corridor were identified. A 400 Ft. buffer range outside of the transmission line corridor was used with the buffer tool. Aerial imagery was utilized to identify homes within the corridor or within the buffer ring, which are depicted below in red and or

Isarithmic Mapping: Annual Rainfall in Washington

  Isarithmic Mapping Today we are going to talk about Isarithmic Mapping! This type of mapping is a way to explain smooth or continuous phenomenon such as a heat map, weather, temperature or rainfall.  There are two types of these kind of maps, Isopleth and Isometric . .. Isopleth Maps : These are made from perceptual poi nt data such as the population of an area or the rate of crime in an area. These maps should be normalized if using raw data and should come from averages, densities, and ways to standardize the data. Such as the number of Covid cases per every 10,000 people, rather than coloring polygons of counties based on the number of covid cases.  Isometric Maps : These come from true point data, such as crime locations as points at a certain address or X and Y coordinate The two rainfall maps of Washington below are Isopleth maps as they are using perceptual data of areas regarding their average rainfall in the state of Washington. This data is already standardized due to cal
