What are Proximity Maps?
Proximity Maps describe the distance "to" or "from" selected
map features.
Very often distances give particular locations a significant
"advantage" or "disadvantage" in Land use planning. The proximity
to a stream is often very desirable. If land designers "rate" for
closeness to a stream as desirable (therefore increased property value)
all buildable land within a certain distance would be considered more valuable.
Knowing how many acres of valuable land on a particular parcel of land
is extremely desirable from a planning point of view.
