This map is a representation of LULC for Pascagoula, Mississippi.  We were given an aerial image and used that image to select and differentiate land use and land cover using the USGS Land-Use/Land-Cover Classification System.  We defined this map to Level 2 classifications, so it is a rather broad generalization, but also a very fun exercise to practice with.  Enjoy!

The image below shows five areas identified by texture and 5 areas identified by tone.  The photo is from the USGS and since the characteristics are somewhat arbitrary, I used the photo itself to provide a range of possible characteristics from which to base my selections.

The image below shows point descriptions based on pattern, shape or size, shadow, and association.  Some of these object can be identified using more than one method and some are best identified by using multiple methods together. 

Below is a link to my Story Map created for the experience in GIS 4043.  Enjoy!

Below is a link to a webmap that I published this week in order to complete the geocoding lab assignment for Module 6 in GIS4043.  The lab allowed me to explore raw data manipulation and proper formatting in Excel that, in turn, allowed me to add it to an ArcGIS Pro project.  I gained some experience with Excel functions I had not used before and I also learned some of the basics of geocoding within ArcGIS.  The real world applications are obvious and I felt like this was a very good lab to bring together some of the basic concepts and processes we had been working on throughout the semester.
