Spatial Join
Concept: A spatial join is done when one set of information is counted within a specific geography. For example counting the number of people that live within a cities boundary would be an example of a spatial join.

Data:
Select the Kentucky hospital file and either a Kentucky county map file. Data is located at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ibCiKAX_9J-RSjl7CALuwZLQY0h_v6z8. The learner may select any point file that covers an entire state and county boundaries of a state to complete this assignment.
Requirements:
Provide two maps to your instructor as well as a map package.
Grading:
30% of the grade will be based on an inspection that the raw data was loaded properly and the proper shapefile were used.
70% of the grade will be based on showing the map with different colors based on the spatial join.
Additional points maybe awarded for creativity.

Requirements:
Provide two maps to your instructor as well as a map package.
- Show data points inside the geographical boundary.
- Show a new layer which is created by doing a spatial join with the hospital and county data. The new layer should use different colors to show the number of hospitals in a county, labeling the counties or the number of hospitals is optional.
- Make sure the appropriate publishing elements are included.
