Georeferencing

Process summary:


1.     Opened blank map in ArcMap, and added buildings and roads shapefiles.  Zoomed to full extent.
2.     Added uwf_n.jpg.  Displayed Georeferencing toolbar and clicked fit to display for this layer.
3.     Added control points scattered over the map.  Adjusted control points with RMS much higher than other control points.  Ended with RMS of 2.19 for a 1st order polynomial transformation.
4.     Added uwf_s1.jpg to map.  Used fit to display again.  Added control points, and finished with RMS of 0.32 for a 3rd order polynomial transformation.
5.     Hid black edges of uwf_s1.jpg.
6.     Created new (polygon) shapefile named Athletic_fields.  Went ahead and created shapefiles for (polygon) New_buildings and (polyline) New_roads too, because I wanted these elements to appear differently on my map from the rest of the roads and buildings.
7.     Displayed Editor toolbar to start editing.
8.     Digitized yellow athletic fields with line tool.
9.     Digitized green dot for the new campus building with circle tool.
10. Digitized the new road with white with freehand tool.
11. Clicked stop editing on Editor toolbar and Saved edits.
12. Switched to Layout view, added essential map elements and rearranged elements.
