Northridge Earthquake

First off, let me apologize for the way this map looks. My files got erased twice, I had to redo it once already, and I didn't feel like redoing the map again. Secondly, for some reason the map data wouldn't show up in the Layout View, so I couldn't make the map look neat and add things like a scale, a legend, etc. But there is still a lot of useful information in this map.

The blue, green, and yellow-green parts indicate where the earthquake hit in Northridge, CA and indicate the magnitude (yellow-green = magnitude 8, bright green spots = magnitude 9). The red lines represent the major highways or other major roads in Northridge. From this map, you can see that the areas hit by magnitudes of 8 and 9 included stretches of highway and also large portions of urban areas.

Mississippi Counties Hurt by Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina strongly affected three counties in Mississippi: Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson County. This map displays the phisiography of these counties and suggests how they were predisposed to severe flooding (they are at sea level or just above it, and there is a large presence of marshes and rivers in the area). The red dots indicate major cities. 

Amelia Earhart's Disappearance

In this map, the last part of Amelia Earhart's flight is shown, along with the suspected path she took that led to her disappearance. The black dots indicate the cities she visited and the red line represents her known flight path. The red and black line indicates the suspected flight path before her disappearance, and the red and white line shows the probable path she took before she vanished. The white box with a red outline is the most likely area in which she disappeared. (This is not the best image; I will update this post with a better one).

Florida Campus Map

A few weeks ago our class created a map using satellite images from a school campus in Florida. We had to add a coordinate system to the map and make it match up with the satellite images. Mine wasn't matched up exactly, which you can see... the red spaces aren't exactly lined with the actual images.
