Big Marine Lake - Minnesota

So the map for this post comes from Lesson 4 in the Bolstad book. In order to make this map, I had to georeference four different aerial images; three were from 1938, and one was from 2008. From these georeferenced images, I was able to create two shapefiles that show the shoreline of Big Marine Lake in Washington County, Minnesota. The comparison of the two resulting shapefiles shows the increase in the lake's area in the decades since the Dust Bowl. Enjoy!

Links, links, and more links!

Maps, man!

 The top map shows elevations calculated by using three different methods of interpolation, as shown in each data frame. The bottom map shows the differences between calculated and actual elevations for each method.

 

So, where are cool links, you ask? None today. Except this one.

I'm bAAAAAAAAAAAAAck!!!!!!!!1

So, apparently, I'm back at the GIS Blogging once again! This time, the blog will focus on my exploits in my GRADUATE LEVEL Advanced GIS Class with Prof. Rosanna Rivero! I am excited to fire the old blog back up and bring it into Grad School at the University of Georgia! More posts to come ASAP, but for now, it's back to making maps!

Adieu!
