24. Scale Scale is the relationship between the size of features on a map and the size of the corresponding objects in the real world. Scale is commonly expressed as a ratio, or representative fraction, such as 1:24,000. This scale means one unit on the map is equal to 24,000 units on the earth. Another way of thinking about it is that the objects on the earth are 24,000 times larger than the features on the map which represent them. Large-scale map such as a map of city streets or a building plan, covers a small area in more detail. A small-scale map, such as a world map, covers a large area in less detail. GIS maps are dynamic—you can change the scale to see more or less detail as desired.

41. ArcToolBox

43. Buffer Creates Buffer polygons to a specified distance around the Input Features

44. Buffer

47. Union Creates a geometric intersections of the Input Features. All features will be written to the Output Feature Class with the attributes from the Input Features, which it overlaps. In terms of a table, want both irrigated area and county name.

48. Union

50. City Zones Census Blocks

51. Select by Attributes

52. Select the residential areas

53. Select by Attributes

54. Select Features by Location

55. Select parcels inside the tornado buffer zone

56. Select Features by Location

57. Statistics

58. Look at building value of selected parcels

60. Creating a Map Title Enough data frames for reference (usually a large and small scale map) Scale Bar North Arrow Legend Your name and info (i.e., lab time)

61. Presentation Map Qualities

62. Insert Second Dataset Frame Copy and paste layers Activate Layer

63. Adding Map Elements Properties to change units

64. Exporting Map

65. Lab 1: GIS Learning ArcGIS Desktop –Module1 Create a map showing the potential youth center locations without using the map template.
