Newbridge Landslide Hazard Draft 2

After printing I made some adjustments (hopefully improvements) to the overall layout. I changed the bottom panel order, highlighted the landslide area on the county map, and added an NC county boundaries layer to make the data frames more cohesive.

Newbridge Landslide Hazard

First crack at a mapping project since June. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Project Description: The NC Geological Survey has been investigating a landslide in the northern part of Buncombe County, just above Asheville, NC. They have found the landslide area to be unstable and a threat to public health. They are working with you, the Buncombe County Public Health GIS Specialist to analyze the threat to county residents near the slide. You will determine all people living within 1/4 mile of the landslide location, locate the closest fires station, fire district and other relevant information.
