I am running ArcEditor 9.3. It doesn't matter if it requires a conversion to raster-- I am using the output to find the average distance between sites and streams in order to perform an area of likely settlement analysis. Which tool should I use?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 25 Jul 2011 10:33:18 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/distance-analysis-points-to-rivers/m-p/5673#M241 NatalieSusmann1 2011-07-25T10:33:18Z Re: Distance analysis: points to rivers https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/distance-analysis-points-to-rivers/m-p/5674#M242 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I recall spatial analyst having some functions that would do this - NEAREST or some such.&nbsp; Output cells contain the linear distance from the cell to whatever feature is being analyzed. This could then give you the values at the points you seek.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:01:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/distance-analysis-points-to-rivers/m-p/5674#M242 MarkEllis 2011-07-27T20:01:23Z Re: Distance analysis: points to rivers https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/distance-analysis-points-to-rivers/m-p/5675#M243 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>You can use the Near tool in Analysis toolbox - Proximity toolset.
