This GIS map, as well as the one below demonstrate some of the many possibilities of the the powerful GIS software. In them, they show trees, schools, wetlands, recreational facilities, and trails in the center of Muncie. It shows the off-site influences and context of the Delaware County Fairground site (in red). In order to create this map, I added a series of data layers, each representing what is shown on the map. Buffering and Clipping were some of the most common tools that I utilized while creating this map, in addition to the Editor tool.
This map shows a more detailed view of the Delaware County Fairground site. It shows trees, schools, wetlands, recreational facilities, and trails. In addition to these, this map also shows soils found on the site as well as off-site influences such as the floodplain. In the process of making these maps I realized just how far I have come with using GIS. When this unit first began, I did not really know what was going on, but now I feel like I have a decent grasp of this program. It is no longer the intimidating program it was a couple weeks ago, but is now a very beneficial tool that can be utilized in many aspects of the landscape architecture profession.
