Belgrade Lakes: Lake Surface Elevation And Impoundments, Daniel Homeier
Belgrade Lakes: Lake Surface Elevation And Impoundments, Daniel Homeier
Atlas of Maine
This map illustrates the effect of impoundments on surface water elevation. The translucent coloring of each lake represents the surface water elevation (white representing 254m, brown representing 248m, etc.). The surface water elevation of each lake becomes progressively lower (the highest being East Pond and the lowest being Messalonskee Lake) because of 5 dams regulating water flow among the lakes. Lakes depth is depicted using bathymetry data in which darker colors represent deeper water. The elevation of the land surrounding the Belgrade lakes is depicted by a hillshade layer in order to portray topography.

Kennebec County Road Bicycle Commuting Compatibility, Daniel Homeier
Kennebec County Road Bicycle Commuting Compatibility, Daniel Homeier
Atlas of Maine
As bicycles become an increasingly popular means of transportation it is vital to determine what roads are most suitable for bicycle commuting. I used GIS to analyze factors that influence bicycle compatibility to create a bicycle commuting compatibility model and map for roads in Kennebec County, Maine. I found that more roads in Kennebec County are suitable for bicycle commuting (37.8% with medium compatibility and 37.9% with high compatibility) than unsuitable (24.3% with low compatibility).The model I developed could be applied to any roads for which appropriate data are available.
Simulated Historical Water Levels In The Belgrade Lakes Watershed In Maine, Angela Warner, Adrienne Bowles
Simulated Historical Water Levels In The Belgrade Lakes Watershed In Maine, Angela Warner, Adrienne Bowles
Atlas of Maine
The dams in the Belgrade Lakes Region of central Maine control water flow of the six main ponds in the watershed. This project simulated historical water levels of these ponds and analyzed what surface area of land maybe have been exposed before the dams were constructed. Our simulation resulted in a 57.7% decrease in surface area of the ponds compared to current surface area. However, it is likely that the change we found is an overestimate because we used dam hydraulic height to calculate the change in water level instead of the actual water height.
South China Tiger Prey Habitat Suitability Assessment In Hupingshan-Houhe National Nature Reserve Complex, China, Yiyuan Qin, Philip Nyhus
South China Tiger Prey Habitat Suitability Assessment In Hupingshan-Houhe National Nature Reserve Complex, China, Yiyuan Qin, Philip Nyhus
Atlas of Maine
A habitat suitability assessment of prey species of south China tiger in Hupingshan-Houhe National Natural Reserve Complex was carried out using a Geographical Information System. Wild boar was selected as a model species. Information on the habitat requirements and natural history characteristics of wild boar was synthesized from published literatures. A preliminary Prey Habitat Suitability Index model was derived based on criteria that fulfill the species’ requirement and reduce human-wildlife conflict. The study identified parts of the NNR likely more suitable for wild boar. However, further study on wild boar habitat requirement, species distribution field data using radio telemetry, and …
Distribution Of Toxic Sites In Alaska In Relation To Populated Areas, Michelle Russell, Blair Braverman
Distribution Of Toxic Sites In Alaska In Relation To Populated Areas, Michelle Russell, Blair Braverman
Atlas of Maine
This project is a GIS analysis examining the distribution of toxic sites in Alaska, including Superfund sites, Toxics Release Inventory sites, mining waste sites, and Formerly Used Defense Sites, in relation to populated areas. Our goal was to determine whether these hazardous sites are located disproportionately near indigenous communities, whose populations may be particularly vulnerable to toxics due to their subsistence lifestyles. Our statistical analysis found that, in census tracts with at least one identified toxic site, the percentage of the population identifying as Alaska Native is 59% higher than in those census tracts without any toxic sites. Further analysis …

Population Change In The Belgrade Lakes, Alexander Hsiao, Matthew Cheever
Atlas of Maine
The goal of our study was to determine how human population changed in the towns of the Belgrade Lakes Region and to project future population trends using existing rates of increase. We obtained population data for the towns in the Belgrade Lakes region of Maine (from 1950 to 2000 by decade) from Maine Office of GIS and proceeded to analyze them. Our analysis concluded that town populations in the Belgrade Lakes region increased by an average rate of 21.47%. The township of Oakland experienced the most population growth, increasing by 3,280 people, while Vienna experienced the least population growth, increasing …

Kennebec-Messalonskee Trails Map, Cassandra Knight, Wyatt Fereday
Atlas of Maine
The goal of this project was to create a comprehensive map of the walking and hiking trails in the greater Waterville area. We mapped 48 miles of footpaths and off-road Kennebec Messalonskee Trails using hand-held GPS units. We overlaid these routes on satellite images of the Waterville area. Included in the map are trail head parking ares and major street names to facilitate navigation to trail heads. A table of trail lengths also was compiled.
Projected Whitewater Classifications Of Maine's Rivers, Anders Nordblom
Projected Whitewater Classifications Of Maine's Rivers, Anders Nordblom
Atlas of Maine
Whitewater canoeing, kayaking, and rafting is both a recreation and a business in the state of Maine. However, the importance of proper information when undergoing these activities is paramount for safety. This study used variables consisting of river width, slope, bedrock density, and flow volume to project the probability of rapids in sections of Maine’s rivers. This data was reclassified to model the whitewater classification scale defined by the international scale of river difficulty (I-V). The study was able to identify general locations, but likely overestimated the values. The classification with the highest number of segments was class IV with …

Commuter Travel Times From The Belgrade Lakes Region To Augusta And Waterville, Maine, Sarah Hart, Rachael Panning
Atlas of Maine
Communities in the Belgrade Lakes Region of central Maine are “bedroom communities” where residents live in rural areas and commute to work in metropolitan areas including Waterville and Augusta, Maine. How much time does a resident of the Belgrade Lakes Region spend commuting? What are the most efficient routes from populated rural locations to city centers? We used ArcGIS Network Analyst to calculate travel times and routes from six town centers in the Belgrade Lakes Region to Waterville, Augusta-Capitol and University of Maine at Augusta. The mean travel times and distances from town centers to Waterville, Augusta-Capitol and University of …
Suitability Of Land For Agriculture In Tanzania, Taylor Tully, Megan Browning
Suitability Of Land For Agriculture In Tanzania, Taylor Tully, Megan Browning
Atlas of Maine
Agriculture is vital to the economy of Tanzania, providing many jobs and contributing to a large portion of the GDP. This project sought to answer the following question: What land is suitable for agriculture in Tanzania? We hypothesized that in addition to land currently in use for agriculture, there would exist additional land suitable for agriculture that had not yet been realized as such. We used logistic regression to created a model that predicted agricultural suitability across the country. We evaluated twenty variables and came up with nine predictors of agriculture that we included in our final model. The results …
