Lab 6: DEMs in ArcGIS

The area I selected contains the mountains that make up Killington Ski Resort in Killington, Vermont and some of the surrounding terrain.  Growing up in the Boston area, I spent many weekends of my youth skiing at Killington, so the area was particularly interesting for me to look at.  The extent information (in decimal degrees) is:

Top: 43.9711111109
Left: -73.0333333299
Right: -72.481944441
Bottom: 43.5247222219

The geographic coordinate system used was "GCS North American 1983," and the area I selected was located in UTM Zone 18N from the 1983 North American Datum.

  1. A couple of issues:
    -I think you may have chosen the wrong UTM zone for your projection. That's why the maps are crooked.
    -Map elements are missing (titles, legends, north arrow, scale bar.)
