Exercise: LaSal Mt. Soils

 ArcMap & Selection:

 (For an ArcView 3.x option)

Create an ArcMap session and add the physiographic coverage (glphy) you just imported and the 24k index map (index_24k) that you previously downloaded.  The results show the physiographic boundaries classified by section and the index 24k quadrangles in a light grey outline.  (Feel free to adjust your classification as well)

Results: ( glphy_arcmap )

From the selection pull down menu choose ‘Select by Attribute…’ In the dialogue box, by ‘Layer:’ choose ‘glphy polygon’ and for the ‘Method:’ choose ‘Create a new selection’.

The query should be as follows:

SELECT * FROM glyph.polygon WHERE:  (italic part not required for query)

"SECTION" = 'LaSal Mountains'

The above statement should read as follows:  Select everything from the glyph polygon layer where the section field item is equal to the value ‘LaSal Mountains’.

Results: ( glphy_selectbyattribute )

If your dialogue is OK choose the Apply button.
