3. Introduction
Bureau of Reclamation did not have a unified bridge database
They needed all their bridge data consolidated into a single file
Created an interactive map showing pictures and bridge classification data
Provide a geodatabase that can be used for inspection and maintenance
Jake

4. Methods
Consolidated 41 gigs of information to a single, usable dataset
Converted that information into a table in ArcMap
Found the right coordinate system to use
Projected the x,y coordinates from the table onto the map
Changed the projection display
Added key information and Picture Pop-up Window
Jake

5. Data Consolidation CHALLENGES
Sorting through data to make a master spreadsheet of all bridges
Missing information
Figuring out which pictures were of which bridge
Tyson

6. Coordinate System and projection in x,y coordinates
An appropriate coordinate system was found through trial and error
Bridge coordinates provided in degrees, minutes, seconds
Coordinates were converted to decimal degrees in Excel and imported into ArcMap
Latitude and longitude coordinates plotted using X,Y data plotting tool
Some of the geographic coordinates were obviously incorrect so they were corrected as necessary (e.g. inverted numbers, missing negative, etc.)
