Module 6 Part 1: Georeferencing

The map above displays multiple ring buffers to calculate multiple sets of distances around a point. We were given a task to set a buffer area near an eagle nest site just east of the University of West Florida. By satellite images, we geolocated buildings and roads, we were able to determine the location of the campus. We then added our geolocated nest site for the eagles and went to work. We established that the two protective buffer zones should be 330 FT and 660 FT around the eagles site.

We then added essential map elements.
