In this activity, students were tasked to import tabular data. Tabular data is usually stored in the form of a table, usually in Microsoft Excel. The table contains X and Y coordinates which will be displayed as points. Another technique used was table join, which is performed when you need to attach the information in a table to existing features. You can perform a join on a point, line or polygon feature layer as long as there is a single common field between the table and feature layer. Using these techniques, a map was produced which shows the parcel value, contaminants and plaintiff properties. A basemap was also added for better representation. After that, all map essentials such as title, author, date, sources, legend, north star, scale bar and scale text were added. The map was later exported and saved as a picture, which can be seen above.
