This week we really dove into some of the analytic tools available in ArcGIS. The map above is the result of a combination of these tools. The first step was to create buffers of varying distances around the river, lake, and road features. From those buffer inputs, we were able to create an intersection of buffer areas that meet all the criteria for a possible future campground (within 300 m of a road AND (within 150 m of a lake OR 500 m of a river)). Then the last step was using the Erase feature to exclude the conservation areas from the possible campground sites. All in all, a highly useful lesson that exposed a lot of features that I think we will be using A LOT in the future.
