GIS Mapping of Lake Erie Vineyards

GIS Mapping of Lake Erie Vineyards

MapsIn 2011, individual vineyard block boundaries in the Lake Erie grape belt region were manually mapped using ArcGIS software with funding provided by Cornell Cooperative Extension Administration Special Smith Level Funding. Currently, the vineyard polygons are being edited to include ownership and variety of each separate block. Elevation and soil data were also added to give growers a unique perspective of their property. Individualized maps for acreage & variety, elevation, and soil type are provided, free of charge, to grape growers who participate by identifying their vineyard block operations. Growers were informed about this service through weekly coffee pot meeting, growers, conferences, newsletters, and through the weekly Crop Update. Surveys to assess the impacts of the generated maps on vineyard best management practices were then distributed to the participating growers. This project is still continuing, and block maps are still available for those who are interested.
