Because I made a map in a previous lab depicting the "Top 10 Biker
Friendly Cities" in the U.S., I figured a local portrayal of bike routes
in Georgetown would compliment the national version nicely. The data
was collected from the Williamson County Maps and GIS website (http://www.wilco.org/CountyDepartments/GIS/tabid/454/language/en-US/Default.aspx ), then extracted and exported into ArcMaps. Exported data included the
open/park areas, trails, and roads, and the block census of Williamson
County. I then selected the Georgetown area, then parks and open areas
specifically with the data provided, to hone in on the area of most
importance (that of which encompassed the bike trails in closest
proximity to Georgetown). This map indicates designated trails outlined
in red and named by the corresponding areas they encompass/bisect. With
this map, bikers can take advantage of the trails offered in the city,
while also mapping out their own routes and finding connecting roads to
each of the trails. |
