Beaver Creek Field Station Mapping Using GPS/GIS

The Beaver Creek Field Research Station, Fall Creek, Wisconsin was mapped during the 2000-2001 school year using GPS and GIS systems.  Better ways of using GPS and GIS to collect accurate data to make maps using Trimble Explorer GPS units, Arcview, Pathfinder Office, and differential correction files were developed. Experiments were conducted on using a variety of methods for collecting and projecting GPS field data.  Accurate maps based on GPS data were projected with existing DNR data layers of the area.
