v) Using a Basic Geographic Information System (GIS)

 

Open the ArcGIS My Map application you used in Activity 4. A hyperlink is embedded in the preceding text. Should this not work, you may also cut and paste into your browser search window the following web address:

https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1

With the My Map application open, type in ‘Widgeon Lake’ into the ‘Find Address or Place’ search window on the top right-hand side of the webpage. The lake is located in SW British Columbia, between Coquitlam Lake to the west, and Pitt Lake to the east. Zoom in to the point where the bar scale represents a real-world distance of 1km.

Drag the map (click on the map and drag it using your mouse/pad) so that Widgeon Lake is centered on your screen. Close the inset blue and white ‘Search Result’ box so that your view of this area is unobstructed.

27) Which one of the following latitude and longitude coordinates most accurately identifies the absolute location of a point in the middle of Widgeon Lake?
