So here is my situation: There is a large area (a wildlife refuge) of nearly 200,00 acres that we have loads of spatial data for, from habitat management projects from the past several years. My boss (who isn't GIS savvy) would like to be able to choose a point or area within those 200,000 acres, and easily access all of the spatial data in it's vicinity, without having to navigate through an unwieldy number of layers.
I've put together a "master" mxd of all the layers, which looks like this:
What I'm looking for is this: a tool whereby my boss could input a latitude and longitude coordinate of interest, and it would return all the nearby spatial data (i.e. the points/lines/polygons it falls on or are within x distance). Would it be possible to write a Python script that would do this? Or perhaps something similar has been made?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
