Sticking with the fire theme we have been on in class as of late, my map combines cropland in Washington with the potential for wildfires in a similar area. With much of Washington's financial economy depending on its output of produce, keeping these croplands protected from wildfires is essential. Central and Eastern Washington are the particular places of interest in this map. As you can see in the map, the majority of wildfire potential is located east of the Cascades where rain is sparse to begin with.
Overall, experimenting with the online gis website was interesting but it was fairly easy to navigate around the site. Some of the layers that I tried downloading would come up with an error message for the layer saying it was unable to add it. This would cause me to change my approach on my map a few times but it all worked out in the end. My map is a little hard to interpret but when you look at the legend it will help you to distinguish the two layers to show the information.
