Eagle Nest Near UWF- Georeferencing

In this weeks lab, we were tasked to create a map to demonstrate a protected eagle nest in proximity to UWF campus. To do this, we used a multi-ring buffer to create two set distances from the point of the nest. The salmon colored ring shows 330 foot distance from the nest, while the gray shows 660 foot distance. The map of UWF campus was georeferenced based on imagery and set from control points to match the image to the base map. The RMS on the bottom right demonstrates accuracy between the image and base map. The lower the RMS number, the higher match accuracy. Overall, georeferencing the map was my favorite part, as you can determine how to match with different methods. I hope to use this technique in the near future.
