Port Sanilac Wind Farm

I picked Port Sanilac, Michigan for my wind farm.  It is a very rural area with an average wind speed of 11 kts for most of the year, dropping slightly in late summer.  It is right next to the Port Sanalac Water Treatment Lagoon, which should keep the local residents from encroaching on this area.  
Migration of birds is minimal on the eastern side of Michigan and the nearest residence is not within 1/2 mile.

Isohyet Map


I'm not sure that I like the way this looks but it's Saturday night and everything is working very slow. I'd like to change a few things but I'm running out of time.

Immigration Map

I used the Eckert III projection, I thought it looked nice. Making the arrows looked like it would be easy, but it didn't go as smooth as I thought it would. I'm still not sure about using AI.

Non-Contiguous Map

This is the Non-Contiguous Map. I couldn't figure out what to do with the legend so I inserted a graph.

Contiguous Map

II was able to get 9 iterations out of this. I did change the classification to get the legend. This was the easier of the two. It still took several hours each.

Dot Distribution Map

There has to be an easier, quicker way to do this. I can't believe anyone would pay me to spend that many hours putting dots on a map. I would like to have done more to this map but it's late Sunday night.
