Blog 4 Update!

I have made quite a bit of progress on my final project map over the weeks. I have added a legend, a title, a compass, a scale bar, small description, and a map to show the entire US and where Arizona is located on a map. I have decided to stick with mapping fire hazards and earthquake data, as I don’t want the map to look to busy or be hard to read.
I also wanted some opinions on whether or not I should keep the outer map of the US or not.. It doesn’t look like the Arizona aerial view, so I wasn’t sure if it was taking away from the whole aesthetic or not! I am willing to take any suggestions or comments you have to help make my project better!
In the upcoming week I will be citing USGS of Arizona, as well as the ESRI database. I am planning on adding a description of what the map shows, and I will also be working towards uploading it to a PowerPoint and starting that process as well.

For this week I have made some progress on mapping data onto my map. I have added recent earthquakes and where they are located as well as a possible fire hazard zone. I am not completely sure if I will keep the fire hazard data up, I don’t want the map to look to busy and have it be hard to interpret.

For the upcoming week I will be finding new data on earth fissures and fault lines as the last set of data I downloaded didn’t work and was possibly corrupted. I will be also adding a scale bar, a title and a start a legend that contains all the hazards I have mapped so far.
