Lab 6: DEMs in ArcGIS


I chose a rocky terrain in Utah--in part because Utah is geographically interesting (Park City!) and I have very close ties to Utah because my family lives there. The elevation is quite startling due to the range of mountains and peaks; at most, the elevation is over 3,500 (3,568) feet yet settles to about 1300 (1365) feet in the valley areas. The slope map indicates the prevalence of steep slopes. As evident in the aspect map, elevation is variant in all directions and areas due to the rocky mountainous terrain of Utah.
Here are the decimal degrees: Bottom: 38.398 | Top: 54.583 | Left: -110.434 | Right: -111.554
