39. Load as a layer the arc component of the CNTY_BND_SPN coverage from
[___]IGIS-Arc\Kentucky_wide_data\KY_county_boundaries.
Make its symbol a black line of width 2. How would you describe the boundary between Fayette
and Madison counties with the course of the Kentucky River. ______________________________.
40. Load as a layer the polygon component of the CNTY_BND_SPN coverage from
[__]IGIS-Arc\Kentucky_wide_data\KY_county_boundaries.
By right-clicking the color patch of the layer, make its color Yucca Yellow. The yellow areas of
the screen now consist of polygons that represent counties. Use the Identify tool to determine
the name of the Area Development District (ADDNAME) that Fayette County is in. (If this
doesn't work at first, you probably didn't change the layer that the Identify tool looks at to
cnty_bnd_spn polygon. Try again.) _____________________ What State Plane (SP_ZONE)
zone is it in? _____________ What is the name of the county that you see to the east of
Fayette? _______________. Dismiss the Identify Results window.
41. Zoom to the full extent of the CNTY_BND_SPN polygon coverage to see all the Kentucky
counties. Open the attribute table, sort by NAME, find Fayette County, and select the record. By
