There are a number of techniques which cartographers use to give terrain, such as mountain ranges, a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional map. This presentation will highlight a number of these techniques that can be implemented with Terrain Tools, an Esri toolbox of geoprocessing tools. Some of these techniques, such as illuminated contours, recreate historical cartographic methods. Others, such as sky models, are advanced methods of hill-shading that precisely accounts for the distribution of light across the visible sky. Come see this presentation if you are interested in taking your terrain maps to a new level!
This presentation will look at and demonstrate the evolution of Ag Land Use mapping in Washington using various GIS technologies, imageries, and mapping partners. WSDA crop mapping integrates ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Pro,, and mobile applications including Collector and Explorer. Each of these technologies provide an important role in obtaining efficient quality data to support the agricultural industry and analyze impacts to natural resources. This data is published as GIS data and web maps/apps for consumption.
