Identify all Stores on my map that are close to major insterstates

[MarkSturgis]

This should be fairly straight forward feature, if I have a large amount of stores showing up on a map, how do I create a separate layer of only the stores within say 3 miles of a major interstate highway?

Hi Mark,  Using ArcGIS Pro there are a few ways to do this via analysis of the topic.  Isolate (Select) those major roads that make up the road network you're focusing on.  By isolating those road networks you can SELECT BY LOCATION under MAP -> on the SELECTION  TAB use "Select by Location" or you can use a couple geoprocessing tools to do what you want.   BUFFER out the road network 3 miles and CLIP or INTERSECT your stores.  These two options should get you on the right track.  My assumption is your trying to do this via AGOL?  I believe you will need to leverage the online widgets allowed for selection and buffering.

Hi Mark - 

You can do this using ArcGIS Online using the Create Buffers tool. You can learn more about how to use this tool to select features within the buffer and save them to a new layer here:

Do you have access to the Analysis tools?
If so, this is super easy to accomplish using the Find by Attributes and Location tool.

1. Add your stores and interstate datasets to a map
2. Navigate to Analysis > Tools > Find Locations > Find by Attributes and Location

3. Click on the + Build new query button

4. Choose to find features from the stores layer, and then pick Spatial expression

5. Set the query to find features within a distance of 3 miles of your interstate layer

6. Click Add, then provide an output name for the result and click Run.

Note: if you only want to analyze the stores that are currently displayed on the map, you can set that by expanding the Environment settings section at the bottom of the tool and changing the processing extent to Display extent before clicking Run.

7. Once the tool completes, you will get a new feature layer containing only the stores that are within 3 miles of a highway.

Hope that helps!
