GIS Week 10: Vector Analysis

For this lab assignment, we used buffer and overlay tools in ArcMap to produce a map of possible campsites in a section of DeSoto National Forest. Roads and water features were buffered at various distances, and the two resulting sets of buffers were overlaid to find areas that were within the appropriate distance of both roads and water. Finally, areas that fell within conservation areas were eliminated, leaving only those areas that are close enough to roads and water to be suitable campsites, but outside conservation areas.
