Cumberland Ski Trails

This map was created for the Cumberland Area Ski Trail Association, also known as CASTA.
The map was created with data collected on a trimble handheld unit shooting at 1 second intervals. After the data was collected it was then imported into the GIS platform Qgis for  analysis.

the trails were broken into separate selections based on the input I received from the CASTA board. elevation data was taken from the USGS DEM file and was interpolated with the lines that were imported from the data collected in the field. The elevation profiles were created using the Qgis plugin "Profile Tool."

To complete the trail map I then used the integrated Print Composer to create the final touches of the map including digitized water, symbolism, legend, and description. All this was used to create the CASTA ski trail map.
