Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Road data sources were compiled from Aerometric for areas within the city limits (digitized off aerial photography) and by students from Michigan State University's Arctic Ecology Lab and the University of Texas at El Paso Systems Ecology Lab for the outlying areas using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) technology which is post-processed with Trimble Geomatics Office.
