Adding Data to a Map

1. The data frame map takes on the projection of the first layer added. If we add a JPG is added first, then the data frame map projection would be undefined (as the projection for a JPG is undefined). To define the map's coordinate system, in the Contents pane on the right, right click Map then go -click the PlayMapping map and navigate to Properties > Coordinate System > Geographic Coordinate Systems > North America > NAD 1927. We use a geographic coordinate system because the data given is in degrees. We know to use NAD 1927 because the degrees data acquired from BEG is in NAD 1927.
2. Right-click the HST.jpg raster and select Add To Current Map.
3. An alternative method of adding data to a map is to click and hold the item and drag and drop it into the map view.
