Page created by Quinn Towery, November 14, 2016, for NRE 355, an introduction to GIS analysis at the University of Kentucky CAFE Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences program. I visited the Pilot Knob State Nature Preserve on September 21, 2016 and collected GPS data for the existing trail network using my phone. I used ArcGIS to create a 2D map and 3D visualization of the nature preserve containing the 3.2 miles of trail data that I collected.
