This weeks map required the use of ArcPython.
Understanding the basics of running scripts with map making actually starts to show that cartographers create 20 maps and the analyst and compare the data much faster than maybe even tn years ago.
This map show the best place for a camp site in De Soto National Forest based on its proximity to a road, water an not being within a conservation area. Now running each of those scripts or options manually could be very time consuming. This is great especially if you just received an new map data because this year has produced a very heavy rain season and the camp grounds open up tomorrow.
You would want to have the map in hand and the ability to drive the area or verify it with aerial surveillance.
