<DIV><SPAN class=715014513-10082006><FONT face=Arial>After years of tax mapping,
this is what I would recommend. Find some existing digital data for the area you
are dealing with that contains at least road locations, natural water features,
and political limits. This will give you something to use to georeference you
paper map. I am sure Florida has a GIS Clearinghouse which you can download data
from if you don't already have something in house. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=715014513-10082006><FONT face=Arial>Then scan your paper map
and use the Georeferencing Toolbar in ArcMap to georeference the scanned map.
This toolbar will also allow you to generate a world file using the rectify
function. Once that is done, then you can heads-up digitize the
polygons.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>SHRUGGIES,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need some very quick help. I just got
thrown into my lap a project of which I have no idea how to complete, so I
need all of your help.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a paper map that has landuse polygons on
it. I have been asked to find the acreage for several of those
polygons. I do not have access to the original maps in digital form,
thus I must digitize the pre-existing map, and then use the digital copy to
find the acreage. However, I am not sure how to do the digitizing, and
not sure how to georeference it so that I can get the acreage.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please Help !!!! This project needs to
be completed today.</FONT> </P>
