It does look like the whiteband
It does look like the whitebanded fishing spider. However, the nearest body of water is close to 1/4 mile away. Do these spiders habitate wooded areas away from water?

Update: It looks like this is Dolomedes albineus. It was stated by Ben Coulter in another post that this species is arboreal. That explains why I found it so far from water.
