Blog Post #4: GIS Day
This year for GIS Day I just did an event with my co-workers. I taught them how to georeference maps within ArcPro. The reason I did this was because as archaeologist we need to georeference historic maps to see if there were structures or other features on the landscape. This was more of an informal discussion but wanted to show them what I do on a daily basis for the USACE, Mobile District. I was able to geo-reference an environmental map for an Environmental Impact Statement from the 1980s. This was a real world experience that I could use to teach my co-workers. I was able to show them the different ways one can georeference a map. Also, I made the map transparent to make sure you are getting to where you need on the base map. The image below shows a goereferenced map that I did for the event. It was nice to show my colleagues the different things I do for the USACE, Mobile District and how I could help them in the future.
