1. Geography 160 Project 3 Using Map Data and Integrating it into GIS By Jerrica, Daniel, and Aaron

2. Project 3 Overview Find, download, and view map data of an area of interest (your hometown) Find, download, and view map data of an area of interest (your hometown) Make 3 map data sets and one map overlay with comments for each of them Make 3 map data sets and one map overlay with comments for each of them

3. Introduction You will be using USGS map data and ArcMap to learn how information from aerial photography, land elevation, and landmarks/features can be used and interpreted. You will be using USGS map data and ArcMap to learn how information from aerial photography, land elevation, and landmarks/features can be used and interpreted. The information you will be applying is used by US, state, and even local government for things from development to planning. The information you will be applying is used by US, state, and even local government for things from development to planning.

4. Introduction of the 3 Map Data Types Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) –A raster representation of the terrain’s surface –Accuracy varies depending on the level of DEM Digital Line Graphs (DLG) Digital Line Graphs (DLG) –Vector representations of most features and attributes –Warranted to be free of topological defects Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle (DOQQ) Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle (DOQQ) –Raster images of rectified aerial photos –Error is caused by the rectification process

5. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) A DEM is a raster representation of a terrain surface. More specifically, a DEM is a data product of the U.S. Geological Survey A DEM is a raster representation of a terrain surface. More specifically, a DEM is a data product of the U.S. Geological Survey A DEM is a raster illustration of the Earths’ surface A DEM is a raster illustration of the Earths’ surface

6. What a DEM Looks Like

7. What a DEM Does Shows the elevation of an area Shows the elevation of an area Shows land characteristics like lakes and Mountains Shows land characteristics like lakes and Mountains

11. DLG Digital vector representations of cartographic information Digital vector representations of cartographic information Data files are derived from either aerial photos or cartographic sources Data files are derived from either aerial photos or cartographic sources Can be converted manually or digitally Can be converted manually or digitally

12. DLG Composed of nodes, lines, and area identifiers Composed of nodes, lines, and area identifiers Lines connect nodes and the solid areas they create are identified with area identifiers Lines connect nodes and the solid areas they create are identified with area identifiers

13. DLG Features that can be represented are: Boundaries Boundaries Hydrography Hydrography Transportation Transportation Man made features Man made features U.S. Public Lands Survey System U.S. Public Lands Survey System

14. DLG There are 3 scales of DLGs Large Scale (7.5 minutes) Large Scale (7.5 minutes) –1:20,000, 1:24,000, 1:25,000 Intermediate Scale (30X30, 30X60 minutes) Intermediate Scale (30X30, 30X60 minutes) –1:100,000 Small Scale (52 rectangular units of U.S.) Small Scale (52 rectangular units of U.S.) –1:2,000,000

21. DLG Sources A good place to learn about DLGs is http://edc.usgs.gov/guides/dlg.html http://edc.usgs.gov/guides/dlg.html or http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/Research/b ts_wb/cd-rom/spatial/dlg.htm http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/Research/b ts_wb/cd-rom/spatial/dlg.htm http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/Research/b ts_wb/cd-rom/spatial/dlg.htm

22. DOQQ Maps (digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles)  Raster images created by scanning black and white vertical aerial photographs into a computer  Image is digitally warped to correct distortion in terrain relief and camera tilt in a process called orthorectification  Scale is uniform throughout the image. Therefore it is possible to measure distance directly on the map.

23. DOQQ Accuracy and Error  DOQQ maps have a scale of 1:12,000  90% of all points lie within 20 feet of there actual position  Error is created in the orthorectification process

24. Uses of DOQQ maps  Editing and revising vector planimetric data  The State Department of Transportation uses these maps to update road data. Road data is plotted on DOQQs and then can be revised to show new road layouts Information found in the online text: Module 3; Air photos and photogrammetry; USGS DOQ Module 3; Air photos and photogrammetry; USGS DOQModule 3; Air photos and photogrammetry; USGS DOQ

25. Creating a DOQQ 1. Go to http://seamless.usgs.gov http://seamless.usgs.gov 2. Zoom into your area make it small 3. Uncheck all boxes under the elevations tab from both layers tabs (display and download) 4. Under the download tab…orthoimagery….select 1m B&W DOQQ

26. Continued DOQQ Making 5. Select the “define download area” button on the left side of the screen 6. Download, extract, and upload to arcmap the same as with the DEM map. 1.Because DOQQ files are large delete them after use

27. DOQQ Example

28. Conclusion DEM DEM –Illustrates elevation –Raster illustration of the terrain DLG DLG –Uses lines, and nodes to represent different areas. –Used for planning and analysis DOQQ DOQQ –An actual image of the area you are looking at –Also good for planning and analysis
