GIS II: Lab 7 Part 1- Python

Goal

The purpose for this python script is to prepare data for network analysis that will happen in part 2 of this lab.  The script was used to select mines with the following criteria:

1. The mine must be active
2. The mine must not have a rail loading station on-site
3. The mine must not be within 1.5 km of railroads.

The finished product will then be used in the next part of the lab in which we will calculate the impact of trucking sand from mines to rail terminal on local roads.  The script I created for this portion of the lab is pictured below in Figure 1.
