2 - Introduction to the Morris Township ERIIGIS &.lcome to the Morris Township Environmental Resource Inventory Geographic Informatiol). System (ERI/GIS). This program is designed to allow users to easily make, view and print maps related to the environmental resources and demographic statistics of Morris The ERIIGIS is a customized project built using Enviromnent~ Systems Township, N~w J~sey. 1\~~~~rch In~titute S Arc View 3.2 GIS software. You wi11 need to have ArcView 3.2 installed on your computer to utilize this application. This project was completed for the Morris Township Environmental Commission and funded by Morris Township with a matching grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The GIS data used in this application comes from a variety of sources including the NJ DEP, the USGS and the US Census Bureau. The NJ DEP GIS digital data, is however a secondary product and has not been verified by the NJ DEP and is not state-authorized..- To Install the Program Insert the ERI/GIS CD into your computer. Copy the folder called Morris_Twp_ GIS onto your C: drive. You will need approximately 200 MB of free space. To Run the Program Start the Arc View software program. Go to the File menu > Open Project. From the dialogue box go to the C:/ Morris_ Twp _GIS/ A V_ Projects folder and select the file called morris_township_eri_gis.apr..- Finding Your Way Around the Program The ERI/GIS is comprised of numerous layers of digital maps that describe the physical and social geography of Morris Township. Among these layers are files for land use/land cover, streams, wetlands, slopes, flood zones, streets, zoning and census demographics. A listing of these layers can be found in the Guide to the ERI!GIS Data Layers document on this CD. More 1
3 - detailed information about when the files were made, who made these files and levels of accuracy for most of these layers can be found in the folder called Metadata. All data is displayed in State Plane coordinates using NAD 83 datum. The ERI/GIS contains two predefined View documents and a series of"layouts" or printable maps. The Views are as follows 1.) Base Map - The Base Map View contains most of the shapefiles related to Morris Township and has the color, scale and classification for these layers preset. 2.) DOQQ's- This View contains the series ofdigital Orthophoto Quarterquadranges that display Morris Township The Layouts are documents that use the image created in the Base Map View document to draw and print maps. The pre-defined maps in the ERI/GIS are as follows: I. Land Use 2. Zoning 3. Wetlands 4. Steep Slopes 5. Flood Prone Areas 6. Geology The project entitled morris_township _ eri _gis.apr is shown below. This project is writeprotected and should not be overwritten. Once you are familiar with using Arc View, you can use this project as a template to create you own customized project files. 2
4 The ERIIGIS Project Check Box Makes Layer Visible Make layer Active by clicking on its name (This shows Morris Township as Active) - Project Window Table of Contents (with lists of data layers) Base Map View Window 3
5 - The Arc View Menu Below is a description of the most commonly used menu items, grouped according to function: These first set of icons are called buttons. After you click on them, a new dialogue box or some other action will immediately take place. '. Save you project ~~~ Add a new theme to you project - Query Open the database table for a particular layer in the project the layer II Zoom to all layers Zoom to active layer ~ Zoom to selected feature I& Return to previous extent D Clear your selections II Opens up the help menu 4
6 The following icons are called tools. After you click on a particular tool, you will move your cursor into the map window and use the tools to zoom in, get information about a feature or to perform some other activity. II Get information on a particular feature J.IJ Select a graphic Ill Select a feature - lf!j Zoom in. You can use this tool two ways. 1.) Click on a point on the map and the map will zoom in a preset amount centered on the point that you clicked. 2.) Use the tool to define a window with your cursor and the map will zoom to the extent of the window. a Zoom Out. Used the same two ways as the Zoom In tool described above JD Pan. Use this tool to grab the map and move it up, down, left or right. Measure. Use this tool to make measurements of distances on the map. Label features on the map. 5
7 - Type text onto the map. IW:] Draw graphics such as points, lines, and polygons, on the map. On the right side of the menu system there are two other items. This read-out displays the coordinates of where the cursor is located. All coordinates for this project are in NJ State Plane. Map Units are in Feet and the Datum is set to NAD83. To Query the Layers in the ERIIGIS Make the layer you wish to query active by clicking on the layer name in the Table of Contents. Move your cursor up to the query tool icon. This icon shows the hammer and question mark symbols. II To construct your query, use the dialogue box that appears. For example, to select a particular street, you would do the following: Begin by making sure that the Update Values check box is turned on. This will tell the program to display the vales in the database associated with that layer. Double click on the field Streetname Double click on the equal operator(=) Double click on the value that equals the street name you want to select. 6
8 - As you click on the values, you will see you query sentence being constructed in the window in the lower part of the dialogue box. Click on the New Set button to run the query. Your selections will be highlighted on the map and in the database table. To Create Your New Projects: Use the Save Project As option under the File Menu Give your new project a new name (e.g. application J.apr) Once you have a new project underway you can add new data layers, zoom into an area of interest, tum layers on or off, query and reclassify layers. Making New Layouts After defining your new Base Map View Document, you can make a new Layout document by using a predefined template. To find the template, go to the View> Layout menu item. Scroll to the bottom of this diaouge box to a template you wish to use. This will automatically set up a new Layout with your map. You will have to use the Text Tool to change the title of the map to something more relevant and to add additional text as needed. 7
