Intro to GIS – Final – Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line Project

GIS 4043 Final: Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line Project

The final project for this course involves the use of various GIS tools to analyze a proposed transmission line, known as the Bobwhite-Manatee Transmission Line by Florida Power and Light, covering approximately 25 miles starting in Manatee County and ending at a proposed substation in Sarasota County.  The transmission line is needed to meet the higher energy demands of Sarasota County. 

The main objective of the project is to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze the many possible routes in hopes of finding a route with minimal impact to the environment and people as well as choosing an economically feasible route.

Please click on the links below for a Power Point Presentation and a Slide-by-Slide Commentary discussing the objectives, the process, and results of the GIS analysis.



Below is a map of the proposed route for quick and easy reference.
