Final Project

Analysis of ACT Scores and Participation Rates

Final project complete! This map was created from data obtained from American College Testing. I used proportional symbols to display the median composite score for each state. I also created a choropleth map using each states graduate participation rate.

Google Earth

Google Earth 3D: Downtown Miami, Florida

This is a screenshot of a Google Earth image showing downtown Miami, Florida. This scene was interesting to me because the last time I was in Miami, I had taken a cruise the Eastern Caribbean. One of the things I remembered about Miami was how many cruise ships were at the cruise terminal which can be seen in the middle background. I thought it was neat that the cruise ships are shown in 3D.

Georeferencing, Editing & ArcScene

 UWF Campus with Bald Eagle Protection Area

This map of the UWF Campus shows two rasters that were georeferenced using UWF building polygons. Once georeferenced, I was able to edit the UWF buildings and UWF roads layers adding a new gym and road segment. The protection area was created using the Multiple Ring Buffer tool to add a 330' and a 660' ring around an active Bald Eagle nest near the campus.

UWF Campus in 3D

This 3D map was created in ArcScene using the same data from the previous map above. A DEM was included to provide ground relief and the buildings were extruded based on their height. A vertical Exaggeration of 5 was applied to help the map appear more 3D.

Dot Density Mapping

Dot Density Map of South Florida

This Dot Density map was created in ArcMap with population data from the US Census Bureau. A dot density map is useful in when presenting the location and density of a given attribute.

Geocoding & ModelBuilder

Lake County, Florida: EMS Locations with Optimized Route

This weeks lab took us through Geocoding, Network Analysis and ModelBuilder. I created this map from a TIGER/Line Edge Shapefile downloaded from the US Census Bureau's website. We were provided with a list of addresses for EMS locations within Lake County, Florida. I Geocoded the list using an address locator I created using the Census data. The Optimized Route was calculated using Network Analyst from Stops that I placed at random locations.
