   The location that I chose for my lab was not a location that would seem to generate much appeal or project much data with regard to elevation.  This is because when I was there, it seemmed to be very flat.  Once I looked at the map on ArcGIS, though, I realized that there is much more to this location.  The location is Quantico, VA, and the significance that this location has to my life is that this is where I went to train for Officer Candidate School.  We got to familiarize ourselves with the area very well since we conducted a six, nine, and twelve mile hiken within a six-week period. 

The spatial data is as follows:
Extent:
Latitude:    From: 38.2203
                 To:     38.7258
Longitude: From: -76.9475
                 To:     -77.6222
Spatial Reference:  GCS North American 1983
Datum:                   D North American 1983

    The map that I made has many different elevation changes.  The reason that I did not notice these characteristics while I was there may have been due to foliage and vegitation densities.  Also, the map represents the area from a bird's eye view.  This view allows the user to see more data than an observer on the ground.
