2. Assignment: Georeferencing practice

2.1. Problem formulation:

Let’s suppose that you have a scanned map/plan for Hadley, MA. It can be a planner’s drawing or a scanned version of paper map. You would like to incorporate the data layer with your existing spatial data. As you know, the process of adding spatial reference to a scanned map is called georeferencing. Your goal is to a) georeference the topo image and b) to create a map containing two layers: topo map and land use layer. Please, create a pdf “snapshot” (Figure 1) of the final map and send it to the course instructor.
