02.23.10_Deliverable_Finally!



Better late than never! After a few attempts I got the raster to line up after the second control point. From there the exercise was fun and the northern part of the image was relatively easy. My RMS for the upper portion is 14.9. As you can see I had a bit of trouble with the southern part. My pic image warped (see the left side bending in?) and the road on the west did not line up correctly. I used a 3rd order transformation with an RMS error of 17.86382. I tried to compensate for the warping with my legend. I would have liked to had a black rectangle to format the legend and brought forward all the pertinent information into the boundary box but could not remember how to get there. Tips, feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi Sue,

I think the main issue here is your layout. You can size the data frame to your liking and then use the extra space for all of the other elements. From this map, it looks like you just zoomed to the aerial and then place the elements on top. Email me if you want some more help.
