Final Maps and Poster

 

    Final Maps:



    These are the final maps that I ended up with by the end of the project. I had to change direction slightly due to not enough data for what I was initially looking for. 

Final Poster:


  • How do you feel about your final maps and poster? What parts of your project do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? 
I generally feel pretty good about my final project and poster. I feel that my maps convey my research really well. I really like the maps that I made, I think they are very clean in showing their data points and they show just enough information so that it is not cluttered. I dislike my format because I feel that it is too boring and generic and not very appealing to the viewer. 

  • What would you differently if you were to do re-start the semester and do this project again? Why?
If I could start over, I think that I would put a lot more research into a topic that could have a lot more data supporting it as it was very difficult for me to find all the correct data for my project. 

  • What is something that you learned while doing this project that you think will be helpful if or when you do another GIS project? 
Something that I learned is that not all data can be exported and used in ArcMap software. I found a few data files in which that couldn't be used in ArcMap which was very disappointing.

Draft Map 1

 Caleb Lines - Draft Map 1


    This draft map shows the distribution probability of the Diamondback Terrapin along the New England Coast. Red is showing a high chance of occurrence. The overlay is not quite exact as it does not line up accurately. I plan to work on aligning this more. 

I used the States data set from the mgisdata folder
