Week 6 Progress

This week I talked to Dr. Kolosvary and confirmed that what I have so far is good, and said I would make time within the next week or so to show her what I have made. I have added the tax parcel data layers to the map, which I found out was a good decision to add because the USA federal lands layer I was originally using for the park boundary was incorrect. Now I am now trying to query out just the Saratoga Battlefield, and creating a layer for that, so that boundary is the only one that shows up. However, I am having trouble deciphering what it is I am looking for in the attribute table that I need to query out for.

I am waiting to send the draft to Dr. Kolosvary until I can get this issue figured out, and make a more presentable map, with the land use layers added in as well. She also asked if I could possibly add in trails that the park has and the spots that cars can stop along their drive to read interpretative signs. This request was a minor detail she said I could add in if I had time, but I am hoping that it is something I will be able to provide for her. Dr. Kolosvary mentioned that in the previous .gif files, these spots were put in already, but since I have been using the map from bingmaps, I need to find a way to get this information.
