Finding suitable locations

Available with Spatial Analyst license.

Use the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension to find suitable locations for a project. There are two ways to find suitable locations. One is to query your data to identify locations that meet your criteria. The other is to produce a suitability map by combining datasets to find the suitability of each location in the area.

The following map illustrates suitable locations for winter rock climbing based on distance from each campsite and steep, south-facing slopes. Suitable locations are displayed in green.
