This week we worked on several things: setting static and variable buffer zones, querying data by different variables and creating new layers with the results, combining layers, and excluding sections of layers by selected criteria.  My final map is a selection of DeSoto National Forest that displays potential campsites based on the criteria that they be near roads and water, and outside of conservation exclusion zones. 

This was easily the hardest week I've had so far, and I had to backtrack on multiple steps to figure out why something went wrong, or look in the forums to see if other classmates were having the same problems. However, I also learned a lot, and complicated spatial queries feel a lot more understandable now.
