The goal of this poster is to show fire data for all of California. However it not just shows fire threat but which areas have the highest density of urban areas. As well as what organization has authority in which areas of California. In doing this I hope to inform the population, not just about fire risk in their area for wildfires. but for them to understand who is in control of their safety when it comes to wildfires. We can also see by the data which areas have the highest population on a high-level threat for wildfires.

The 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement was a covert treaty initiated between France and the United Kingdom, with the consent of imperial Russia, to demarcate their spheres of influence in the Ottoman Empire. This treaty was based on the assurance that the Ottoman Empire would be defeated by Russia, Great Britain, and France by the end of World War I, with the former Ottoman Empire land to be divided among their nations.

The original Sykes-Picot map published by the Royal Geographical Society in 1910 shows the same plotted boundaries as the map displayed. This map contrasts the Sykes-Picot agreement and distribution of control and influence in comparison to modern country boundaries in the Middle East.

The goal of this project was to map a lengthy geographic region, using a monochromatic color scheme. This was definitely one of the more challenging maps, because mapping in one color isn't as easy as I thought it would be. I chose the Baja California Peninsula because I am from San Diego, and used to visit Tijuana and Ensenada often. Whether for surfing, street tacos, or visiting friends, I am lucky to have grown up in such close proximity to a gorgeous place, that holds both beautiful people and a lively culture.

In 2018, I presented a paper on defining the Klamath Physiographic Province. This map updates the region's unique geomorphology, hydrography and biogeography through the use of Esri's Story Map platform.
