Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)
The purpose of this project is to display important information about the local Boy Scouts of America in a simple and easy to understand format. It is primarily a map of units in the area, but also contains other important geographic data such as schools, school districts, and chartered partners in Central Minnesota. The map was built in ArcGIS Pro in cooperation with Gerry Granum of the BSA.

Mapping Racial Covenants In Stearns County, Mn, Jonathan D. Carlson
Celebrating Scholarship and Creativity Day (2018-)
Over the past year, CSB and SJU Honors students uncovered previously unknown racial covenants included in property deeds in Stearns county. Racial covenants prevent people of certain races from owning or occupying property, thus creating segregated neighborhoods. The Great River Covenants Project (https://greatrivercovenants.org/) was created to educate the public about this work. Using Geographic Information Systems, I created maps to show the location of the covenants and when they appeared in neighborhoods through the decades of 1920 to 1960.
