For my final project in my Introduction to GIS course at Cuesta College, I volunteered to serve the History Center of San Luis Obispo County by digitizing an 1886 map of San Luis Obispo and creating an online product available to the general public.
I georeferenced the 1886 map using ESRI ArcMap, shared it as a tiled map service on ArcGIS Online, and made a StoryMap with this map along with many historical photographs of the town and a point layer that showed the location of the photos. I absolutely loved this project, since I got to do some virtual time-travel and indulge my fascination with historical maps. Now I can practically visualize what downtown San Luis Obispo looked like in the days of the Wild West, and I hope you can, too, if you check out my StoryMap online. |
