MTR Prepare Week-----not exactly the way I like to move mountains

Our prepare week map utilized our skills to take four DEMs, mosaic them and then create a hydrology dataset.  From this dataset we ultimately produced a stream shapefile (polyline) and a basin shape file (polygon).  We added the site boundary as this project (due to its size) has been divided into groups.  As group three, our focus for next week will be portions of the Appalachians in Kentucky and Ohio.  For this map, I illustrated the entire site area and in order to give it some location perspective I obtained U.S. Census data to illustrate the counties and states which were within the site area.  The streams and basins were identifiable in the legend and the basin color-coding helped our group three area stand out from the rest of the project area.

We also created a story map for the six basic steps regarding mountain top removal: http://arcg.is/2dLw3kn

Our final step was to begin our MTR Story Map Journal which is a work in progress to be finalized with report week.  It consists of placeholders and some image links which would not cooperate but will have an attitude change by next week!  http://arcg.is/2dLxhfn
