Update

For the past 5 weeks, I have been analyzing the wrong watershed. Prior to finding this out, Professor Geis and I have been trying to figure out why the sample site points wouldn't line up with the land use basemap. We thought it was a coordinate system issue.  Last week, the reason why the sample sites wouldn't line up with the basemap was because I was analyzing the wrong watershed and I basically had to start from scratch. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to figure out what my issue was, I lost time to do some of the analyses I proposed. The lesson learned here is to not always assume that the points aren't lining up because of a coordinate system issue; think of other possible reasons why they aren't lining up and retrace your steps.
