The location I chose for my lab is not unique but is important to many locals and me from the San Bernardino Valley. I chose to generate maps of the Tapanga Valley State Park. I use this park for its expensive running/biking trails and occasionally hike it with my wife. I usually carry a GPS watch when a run/bike through the trails and track the elevation. On my computer, it is just a scatter plot of the elevation and I thought it would be unique to see exactly what it is I traverse 3D.
After creating the map I relived there are still quite a few peaks and valley I probably have not explored. It was quite impressive to see the mountain range and the uniqueness of it from a bird’s eye view. With the slopes map you can see how the winter rains have carved valleys and ravines into the range and it creates a beautiful image when color is added.
Erin, I had no comments, so I tried to improve on the most obvious mistakes. I added borders to all the maps and North signs. I also changed my write up a little. Are any other changes needed?
ReplyDeleteI can't give you much more on this lab since creating the slope map was 1/4th the project. I'll bump you to 9.2 on this.
