Lab 3: Land Use / Land Cover Classification Mapping



For Mod3 we were tasked with creating and land cover/land use map. We were given a aerial map of Pascagoula, Mississippi and  had to digitize the area showing features on the ground based on size, shape, color, pattern, shadows, and associations.  I created a polygon shapefile and outlined the identifying features and then labeled them accordingly. I particularly enjoy this module because I was able to figure out a few features that stumped me last semester including how to reorganize the legend and how to create labels from the attribute table.  These little things helped the map come together more easily than the past.
