| This project required that we obtain as much data as possible from existing sources. All the data we collected was also freely available to the public from the various organizations. Skagit County, GIS Data Depot, and the USGS all offered coverages that were easily imported and projected in ArcView 3.2. Some data was hand digitized, because it was not available in a digital format. For data that was not available on the camp, or was inaccurate, field collection was done using Trimble GPS units. GPS provided very accurate location information that combined with the existing coverages seamlessly. | |||||||||||
