Description:
Abstract:
This ArcView shapefile represents the extent of
the project view and is used as a general background.
Purpose:
This ArcView shapefile may be used as a general
basemap data layer to illustrate the extent of
the map view and as a contrast for laying the
additional data layers.

Using ArcView 3.2, a rectangular graphic was drawn
around the project view extent.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A rectangular graphic opbject was drawn in ArcView
over the extent of the project view area. That
graphic object was then converted to a shapefile
using the ArcView Xtools extension. The properties
value for the created shapefile was edited to create
a pale blue background. An AVL file was associated
with the shapefile and saved to disk.
