Requirements for Capstone Project
Your task is to create a map that answers a question of your choice. I recommend choosing
a question that you are personally interested in or something that you can use for your
portfolio if you are building one. To answer this question you must use at least TWO data
layers and demonstrate visualization or analysis techniques that you learned in this class.
You may choose data we have used in previous labs or pull data from another source.
Include: title, north arrow (if you feel it is necessary), scale bar (you don’t need this for a
large area such as the USA or Florida but you will for smaller areas where scale may be
more important), data source information, legend, name, and date (All must be included if
needed!).
You must also insert textboxes that contain the following information:
1. The question you are answering (it helps to have a clear question from the start).
2. The type of visualization/analysis you did. If you transformed any data (e.g. through
a join, query, buffer, or other method), state this also.
3. The conclusions you make from your results.
Save your map and Process Paper to in a PDF. To be clear, all of your capstone project
map content should be contained on your map. Your Process Paper is separate.
