Point to Surface

Hello everyone,

I hope you are very well.

Please, I have a question.

How to create a soil-type surface from a few borehole points. These points include many properties of the local soil. I need to know which spatial analyst tools I can use and it will be useful to me to create such a surface.

Could you please answer me?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Nada,

Generally, I would look through the Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst tool boxes as they have a few different ways to convert points to polygons and rasters if you have that licensing available. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.0/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/an-overview-of-the-surface-tools.htm

Or another tool is Thiessen polygons https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/analysis/create-thiessen-polygons.htm

Not sure if this helps but it might be a good starting point. Good luck,

Rianna

Interpolation ... is an option if you have enough points and they are spread out well spatially

a "few" boreholes? How many and their spatial pattern need to be addressed prior to venturing off on the need to produce a map
