Georeferencing

The map above depicts the result of Georeferencing. In this exercise two maps were edited separately and later joined to create one map. The first map was done by identifying and matching features of the unreferenced control layer and linking it to common points using a tool in Arc map. Before saving the root mean square error was recorded.  The root mean square error is the difference between the locations that are known and locations that have been interpolated.  The second map went through a similar process. Features of the unreferenced layer were linked to common points however   a second order polynomial was selected for this map. After the linking had been completed the RMS Errors were recorded. A legend, scale, scale bar and a north arrow were also included in the map
