Week 9 - Camp Site Selection Results and Answers


Here is a map illustrating potential camping areas. I included the Conservation Areas as a feature reference for finding the ideal area to camp.

Q1: Which tool did you use? Was there any noticeable difference between its results and the results from the instructions?
The "intersect" method worked the best for me. This method was logical and straight forward.

Q2: Which tool did you use here? Why?
I used the "erase" overlay tool to remove the portions of the Campsite's polygons that were inside of the Conservation Areas.

Q3: How many features are in this layer? What is the area of the largest feature? What is the area of the smallest feature?
Total of 79 features. Largest was 7,765,034.49 square meters and smallest was748.114 square meters.
