I have been in this position for six weeks now and have really enjoyed the experience. Although the commute is about an hour each way, I genuinely enjoy the drive. Milton reminds me of my hometown, which makes the trip something I look forward to.
One of my first challenges was learning how to work with ArcGIS Pro mosaic datasets, a tool my office hadn’t used before. Our team was unsure how to crop georeferenced images efficiently, so I took the initiative to research solutions independently. Through this process, I learned how to use footprints for cropping, perform color balancing, and export GeoTIFF files, significantly improving our workflow.
Currently, I am preparing to process the historical aerial images of Santa Rosa County that I have georeferenced in GDAL. These mosaics will be finalized and published to the SRCPA website, where they will be made publicly available for residents, businesses, and other stakeholders.
As part of this course, I have also joined the Florida Association of Cadastral Mappers (FACM), a professional organization focused on cadastral mapping across the state of Florida. Membership is affordable, with a lifetime fee of just $5 for students or $40 for professionals, making it a valuable resource for networking and professional development. Since cadastral mapping is at the core of my internship work, this group is an excellent fit and will allow me to learn from other professionals in the field.
