Hello all,
I'm trying to search for sites that are conducive to some of our land use objectives. I've been tasked with finding pastures (orange raster) that are on BOTH sides of the river (in blue). I know there's ways to extract areas that intersect the river, but I don't know how to make it so it queries locations that have it on both sides. Any suggestions?

If you have access to an Advanced ArcGIS license and ET GeoWizards, here is a vector workflow that could be of use:

Thanks Chris, looks like I have it well underway with your guidance!
Hi Matthew,
Case-1
If you want the pastures irrespective of how big they are.
1. Convert the Raster to vector (Unless you have Vectors of the same).
2. Export the pastures and river features to different layers.
3. Try Select by Location with Pastures as the target layer, and River as the source layer.
Spatial Selection Method = "Are within a Distance of"
Case-2
If you want the fraction of patches (say you want 500 meters on both sides of the river)
After step 1 and 2 of Case-1.
> Create a buffer using the river boundary for the required distance.
> Clip the Pastures layer using the above Buffer layer.
Hope it helps!!!
