DESCRIPTION
This presentation was required at the completion of Junior/Senior level undergrad GIS studies. Students learned the map making functions demonstrated within this presentation during the regular semester. The project required students to recreate these functions using their own original land use idea and mapping skills. It was to be completed mostly without the help of our professor as to demonstrate our level of comprehension.TRANSCRIPT
