Task 1
The map above displays developed areas within 500 m of lakes. Other layers shown include elevation and lake locations.
The above map displays the least-cost path (the light blue line) from the nearest fire station to an accident. This map uses cost-distance analysis to produce the most effective emergency response. Speed limits, distances, road maps, elevations, and travel times have all been considered in these calculations. The accident is represented in the key as “fire_pt”, and on the map as a yellow car with a hazard exclamation point beside it.
