Lab 6: DEMs in ArcGIS

The area that I selected for this lab is in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.  The central part of my map focuses on a small area known as Mineral King, a place where I have been camping since I was born.  Surrounding this area are Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, and the Sierra Mountain Range.  The whole geographic area is very mixed with high altitude peaks, river canyons, and low lying foothills, therefore the terrain reflects very well as a DEM and the various models created illustrate a beautiful and multi-faceted landscape.



The geographic coordinate system for this stretch of land is NAD 1983 UTM 11N.  The extant data is as follows.
