Base Map Project nearing completion
Using lesson plans as a guide, teachers learned how to create landcover data by digitally drawing the trees in their study site from an aerial photo
base map of the Catawba Campus.
The

base map with some unknown quantity of fire hydrants, valves, sanitary manholes and drainage structures seems nearly impossible.
The Kit includes GIS software,
base map data layers, a GPS handheld unit and onsite training.
