So I essentially made it from scratch. All the features had to be GPSed for a huge database containing cultural features/resources in Rock Creek Park.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">It is also a fun map because I made it for Sarah, who was leading an interpretive hike in this park at the time. I was trying to impress her and get her to notice me. I guess it kind of worked...we're now married.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208134956916396408-1960119070698387107?l=mapsbygeoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geoffreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047663575097210834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208134956916396408.post-31622102014841503072007-12-04T11:53:00.003-08:002007-12-04T12:00:23.730-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iViKwuTkjsk/R1Wwaw5I62I/AAAAAAAAADw/CRfZwHXHHcY/s1600-h/TurtleMapFig2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iViKwuTkjsk/R1Wwaw5I62I/AAAAAAAAADw/CRfZwHXHHcY/s320/TurtleMapFig2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140208523560938338" border="0" /></a><br />Our Wildlife Manager at Rock Creek needed some maps of the Box Turtles he had tracked using radio telemetry. He had been tracking turtles since 2002. These simple maps were used in an academic article. <br /><br />All of these turtles are female. The female turtles leave their "Established Activity Range" when they go to lay their eggs. It is interesting to see how far they go to spread their species and ensure genetic integrity. ...I don't think Turtle 47 laid any eggs... This was still pretty early in the study.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8208134956916396408-3162210201484150307?l=mapsbygeoff.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Geoffreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01047663575097210834noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208134956916396408.post-56502533288388059632007-12-04T11:49:00.000-08:002007-12-04T11:53:07.258-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iViKwuTkjsk/R1Wv0Q5I61I/AAAAAAAAADo/JMUnapvn9kM/s1600-h/boundarybridgehk.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iViKwuTkjsk/R1Wv0Q5I61I/AAAAAAAAADo/JMUnapvn9kM/s320/boundarybridgehk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140207862135974738" border="0" /></a>This was one of the first maps I made for Rock Creek Park.
