Complete the chapter 3 tutorial (Price, exercises 1-39). Then do the following:

Work with the geodatabase you created for New York State in Lab #2

1. Choose a projected coordinate system appropriate for New York State. You should use the appropriate UTM projection

It will be NAD 1983(2011) UTM Zone___[you figure out the correct zone]

Hint: You can google for ‘UTM zone map’ to see where each zone is located

2. Reproject the New York State feature classes you created in Lab #2 using the correct UTM projection

3. When you pull up the Project tool, these are listed under the Projected Coordinate Systems/UTM/North America folder:

4. Create a map of your New York State data, using a minimum of three layers. Choose appropriate symbols/ colors. Customize the map layout. Export the map.

5. Turn in a report with the following information;

• Describe the projected coordinate system you chose, and why. What is the name of the projection? What type of linear units does it use? What is the longitude of the central meridian? Does it use the equator as the latitude of origin?

Hint: This info is in the layer properties box under the ‘XY Coordinate System’ tab (right-click on layer name in either ArcCatalog or ArcMap)

• Include your map.
