Concord students map manholes with GPS in Princeton
Concord College Geography interns assisted Region I Planning and Development Council and Oakvale Road Public Service District in a December project to record manhole locations and related data. David Arrington located 178 manholes, capturing depth, manhole number, and flow direction using GPS. Melissa Leonard processed data to sub meter accuracy for ArcView GIS. The effort cost about 3000 dollars and aims to produce precise sewer and utility maps benefiting the community and future development.
