- Abstract
- This point datalayer depicts landmarks and points of interest, with associated attribute data, for the Atlanta Regional Commission's (ARC) 10-county region. Data displayed here was derived from the US Census Bureau SF-1 release of July, 2001. ARC documentation states that: This Theme originated from a list of regional landmarks generated by ARC staff. The point locations of these landmarks were digitized in ArcEdit using a variety of data sources, primarily ARC's street centerline database (ARCmap). The point locations are approximate centroids of the landmarks they represent.
- Purpose
- This layer is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. This layer will provide a basemap for layers related to socio-economic and political anaylsis, statistical enumeration and analysis, or to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. More advanced user applications may focus on urban and rural land use planning, infrastructure or economic analysis and related areas including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output.
