The first of three submissions analyzing the impact of the Deep Horizon Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in the Fort Barrancas, Florida area (ESI Map Index Tile 5).
Sean's gracious comment below refers to an earlier map I posted to test the view of my topo layer.

This map was created as part of UWF's Applications in GIS class Unit 4 class project deliverable one: Deep Horizon Oil Spill; Fishing Closure Boundaries. Longitude and Latitude coordinates were obtained from existing NOAA maps, input into excel and imported into ArcMap. We created a new polygon shapefile, started an editing session to create the boundary layer from the imported point file and then exported the boundary file as a kml file. My first go round my kml file put me on the NW corner of the Galapagos Island. Upon reopening the mxd file, I noticed one of my coordinates was along the equator. I deleted the files and started over.

The Mississippi Coastal Counties Hurricane Katrina Flood Water Extent Map was made for the University of West Florida's Applications in GIS class project for Unit 3: Hurricane Analysis. Initially students were required to present a layout view map showing elevation, hydrography, and Bathymetry of the Mississippi Coast counties with places, types of water, barrier islands, and hydrography. By adding the US Geological Survey land cover file and reclassifing land cover types into 7 catagories, students were then directed to submit a graph detailing flooded areas by land cover type. Finally, we were asked to create a table detailing the land cover types affected by the storm surge expressed as a percentage, by acreage totals per land type and by square miles.

The Coastal Mississippi Counties Hurricane Katrina Infrastructure Damage Assessment Map was created as the fourth deliverable for UWF's Applications in GIS class project Unit 3: Hurricane Analysis. The map details the roads, hospitals and churches most likely to be flooded from Hurricane Katrina's storm surge.
Central southern Harrison county should experience the least amount of flooding with southwest Hancock and eastern Jackson as the hardest hit areas. Singing River Hospital, Hancock General and Hancock Medical Center lie directly in the flood zone. Ocean Springs, Gulfport Memorial or Sand Hill Hosptials may be better positioned to remain in operation. In addition, most coastal churches will be impacted by the storm surge so shelters should be opened in the northern portions of the counties.
Travelers in Hancock County along US 10 will find impassable flooded roads therefore highway ramps have also been included in the map to assist EOC with rescue efforts.A small portion of western and northern county road 607 should remain passable for emergency vehicles. Similiarly, only the western portions of US 10 and CR 90 will be passable in Jackson county.

Taking our map one step further we added the US Geological Survey land cover map and reclassified land cover types into 7 catagories.
Problem:
The catagories listed in Step 5 substep 4: 0 not flooded; 1 water; 2 barren; 3 developed; 4 forest; 5 agriculture; 6 wetlands; DO NOT MATCH the catagories provided in previous step 3 reclassifity land cover substep 3. As a result, I think the map is an inaccurate assessment of flooded lands. Given I followed the instructions precicely and I do not have the time to fix the error, I am moving on.
