Introduction to GIS
Many of the issues in our world have a critical
spatial component!
Land management
Property lines, easements, right of ways
Data on land values, taxation, assessment
Business site selection, advertising
Proximity of our land to other facilities (pollution, hunting,
municipal, federal, state)
Hydrology: Soil, Elevation, Structures , vegetation
Crime analysis
Emergency management and disaster preparation

Introduction to GIS

The Space on Earth


The Earth is finite!
If not now, within our lifetimes there may be
no natural ecosystems.
Land managers, natural resource workers, and
politicians are and will continue to make
decisions about biological systems.
Good information and tools are needed to do
this.

Introduction to GIS
ArcGIS:
A computer-based tool for

holding,
displaying,
analyzing, and
manipulating,

spatial data.

Introduction to Surveying

Definition:
Surveying is the science of estimating
the elevation of points on the Earths
surface and determining their
distances, angles, etc.

Horizontal and Vertical


Distance Measurement

Horizontal and Vertical Distance Measurement


Direct Method Using a Tape

Point B

Horizontal Distance = L cos


Vertical Distance = L sin
Point A

Problems?
Temperature may affect the measuring tape.
The pull/tension applied to the tape in the field may be different from
the standardization pull.
Tape sagging (mainly for long tapes)

Vertical Distance Measurement


BS: Backsight
FS: Foresight

Direct Leveling

BS = 4.5 ft

H.I.

FS = 1.5 ft

Elev. = ?
Point B

Benchmark A
Elev. = 100.00

A Elev. = 100.00 ft
BS = +4.50 ft
HI = 104.50 ft
FS = -1.50 ft
B Elev. = 103.00 ft

Vertical Distance Measurement

HI=5.4 ft

Benchmark A
Elev. = 303.00

Elev. = ?
Point B

V = L sin
= (451.00 ft) * sin 3o15
= 25.57 ft
Elev. B = Elev. A + HI V RR
= 303.00 + 5.4 +25.57 - 6.40
= 327.57 ft
