Geography 7 Assignment 6

The lab assignment asked us to download digital elevation model (DEM) data for the purpose of creating maps on ArcMap and ArcScene. The types of maps we created include a shaded relief model, slope map, aspect map, and 3D model of the DEM. I chose a location in Death Valley National Park. Death Valley National Park had a wide variety of elevations and slopes, which made it a prime location for the DEM I was going to create. The extent information in decimal degrees is as follows: top: 36.88722 (north), bottom: 36.76499 (south), left: -117.83611 (west), right: -117.62444 (east). The spatial reference for this DEM data was the GCS North American 1983. Each map below shows a particular aspect of the data I had acquired.

Map 3: Aspect Map
Map 4: 3D image of location
