About the Links
The map links below illustrate some of the variety of maps and the tools that can be developed to display and use geographical data. In addition to those represented here tools for specialized applications can be developed to further exploit the technology. The links below illustrate the use of arial photography (both linked and file based), a variety of queries, and database applications.

Internet Map Sites
- Vista Grand
- This site is a map with several layers that depicts well locations and other landmarks on property in Southern California. The site was developed to facilitate data transfer and communications between local landowners and governmental agencies. Left clicking on landmarks shows images consisting of views, survey monuments, and other photos appropriate for that landmark. The function of each tool can be seen by pausing the cursor over the icon. Left clicking on the "I" icon and then on an object will display the attributes of that particular object.
- Oroville
- This site is a map with several layers that contain streets, parcels, and landmarks for the city of Oroville. The function of each tool can be seen by pausing the cursor over the icon. Queries can be made by owner, APN number, or Street. The query format is critical(i.e. Foothill Blvd for street, SMITH for owner, ###-##-#### for APN. Data are representative and incorporated in the map. It is possible to link to image and tabular data via servers if required. Left clicking on the "I" icon and then on an object will display the attributes of that particular object. Information is displayed in a table below the map.
- Local Mines
- This is a map of known mines in the Butte and Plumas County area. Once a particular mine is identified separate research could be done to establish the history of the site. This information could then be embedded in to this map.
- Butte County Meth Sites
- This map was developed gratis for the Butte County drug enforcement team. It is based on methamphetamine violations in a one year period around 2005. An informative map like this can be produced and hosted relatively inexpensively
- Butte County AG
- This map shows the crop distribution in Butte County around 2002. Queries can be made on the crop types and the acreages.
Optics
- Optical Engineering
- This site summarizes a portion of Bill's optical thin film and optical engineering experience
GIS
- GIS/Enviromental
- This site is a representative summary of my environmental training and experience. It is an older power point presentation that was intended as a presentation with supporting comments. Many of the fundamental points are readily apparent in the presentation pages. Any detailed questions can be addressed by contacting WA Associates. The site was developed for Internet Explorer and does not display well on Mozilla Firefox.
