In this activity, unreferenced and referenced raster datasets were georeferenced using the ArcMap software. The unreferenced raster and already referenced dataset showing the same area were added. The fit to display feature was used to bring the layer to reference into the current area being viewing and it was manipulated  to display so that features can be seen clearly on both the known and unknown layers. Then, I visually identified feature to represent in both layers and used the add control points feature to create links. The RMS errors were review for the links made and some were deleted or changed as needed. A transformation type was chosen to better display the data. I used 1st order transformation for the top portion of the map. Lastly, the Update Georeferencing feature was used to complete the map. The steps mentioned were repeated a second time for the bottom half of the map using 3rd order transformation. Also, three features on the map was digitized. A new building, road and the athletic fields were digitized. All map features such as legend, author name and date, north arrow, map title, scale bar and scale text and a note showing the RMS errors.
