- 9. Wightman’s GIS Analyst, likely to be found in the garden during summer months.
- 11. Type of view in ArcGIS Pro where you create deliverables for your project.

- 16. Common storage file type that stores location, attribute, and shape of features for ONE layer.
- 19. Each individual unit of data in GIS. Each above ground marker, pipe segment, or parcel would be examples of this.
- 21. A map layer that operates in the background of your data like what you would see in Google maps. Updates automatically to your location as you pan around your screen.

- 1. Items that make up the contents or focus of a map.
- 2. This is used to display features on the earth (a three-dimensional object) onto a two-dimensional plane (map). Each one has its benefits and its deficiencies in mapping.
- 4. Type of view in ArcGIS Pro where you edit data in your project.
- 5. A collection of geographic datasets of various types. Each dataset is compromised of feature classes, raster datasets, and tables to organize and display the data
- 7. Operational data layer stored in ArcGIS Online. This data layer allows for the creation and editing of features in GIS. Allows for storing photos or file attachments.
- 8. ArcGIS Online, abbreviated.

- 17. The file extension for a project created and edited in ArcGIS Pro.
- 18. Feature ____: Collection of related feature classes that share a common coordinate system. These are used to integrate related feature classes spatially or thematically.
