Geog 385, Final Web GIS

Summary

A web map application was created to display recreation opportunities in Plumas National

Forest. Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS was used to create this product using data obtained from the

US Forest Service GeoData Clearinghouse. The map provides information on recreation

opportunities and provides reference data for the area. Users can contribute to the map by editing

features, updating existing data, or entering missing data using a desktop computer or the

Collector for ArcGIS mobile application. The recreation activities currently available are boat

ramps, campgrounds, day use, fishing sites, sanitation, trailheads, observation lookouts, and

Forest Service District Offices. Reference layers do not allow user edits and include wildfire

history, ranger districts, forest service system roads, forest boundaries, a density analysis for

recreation, and USGS quad map reference grid.
