Final Project...Finally Complete...Finally

Overall this project tested my will and sanity to complete it.  And while I think I did well overall, I know that there was a key error somewhere in my analysis.  I think that error happened with my projections.  While I set everything to the same projection, I dont think it set right as when I did a comparison with GoogleEarth of my transmission line path, my lengths were greatly off.  Due to this I can only assume my acreage calculations were off as well. 

But it is what it is.  This was a solo project on a limited time crunch and I know that if this was the real thing, I would have been able to bounce ideas around like I normally do in the workplace. 

I will end this course knowing I learned much, more than I thought I would and I am really looking forward to using these skills in the future.  Below you will find some of the maps I created for this project.  Also you will find my full presentation and commentary in the following links.  Enjoy!
