First Lab Assignment! ArcGIS Overview map

This map has the distinction of being my very first creation, turned in for credit, for a class I am taking to earn my Master's degree.  If I'm not mistaken, this is the first map I have created for a class (as opposed to a job) in over a decade.  It's been rather a while since I've even used ArcGIS, and making this map was a bit more challenging than I expected.  The finer points of GIS mapping are slowly coming back to me though, and I remain optimistic about my ability to succeed in my current academic endeavor.
