Streams A and B

As we did in Chapter 2, we will copy the previous chapter’s project file and map layers so that we do not have to start from scratch.

Within the QGIS stored in your computer’s Documents, there is a folder called Chapter3.

• Using Windows Explorer, right-click the folder called Chapter3.
• Click Copy
• Right-click in a blank space underneath the Chapter3 folder
• Click Paste

This will create a folder called Chapter3 – Copy.

• Right-click the folder called Chapter3 – Copy
• Click Rename
• Type in Chapter4
• Click Enter on your keyboard

We will now open the new Chapter4 folder and rename the project file inside.

• Double-click on the folder called Chapter4
• Double-click on the folder called ProjectFiles
• Right-click on the QGIS project file called Project3
• Click Rename
• Type in Project4
• Click Enter on your keyboard

With the project file and the map layer files copied, we can now proceed.

• Double click on the freshly renamed Project4 file to open it in QGIS.

Note: if you have not completed Chapter 3, you will have to go to that chapter to set up Project3 before you can copy Project3 to create Project4. Chapter 3 shows you how to create Project3. It includes links to download the NTS map and the 1880 Georgetown map, and it shows how to import the NTS map as well as how to import and georeference the map of Georgetown.
