On Your Own: Retirement Site Selection Base Map


The map contains the county boundary from Miami-Dade, cities, census tracts and the residential areas. The data was obtained from www.FGDL.org website. The data was provided for the entire state of Florida. Before creating the map I explored the data in ArcCatolog to obtain the projection needed. I documented the map, set the environments and set the coordinates in the data frame properties. To create the base map, selection by location was used to select the data only within the Miami-Dade county boundary. The base map was created to give the viewer a perspective of the county and the residential areas in the county.
