This week was our first week of work in my Special Topics course. First we had to manipulate some data within an attribute table. This data contained information from two counties in West Virginia and were related to several Methamphetamine labs that were busted in the area between 2004 and 2008.
We also had to create a base map of the study area. It was kind of up to us as far as what's displayed in it. I decided to display a basic outline of the study area and show the meth lab concentration. I also provided an inset map to give reference to where in WV these two counties were located.

Finally, we had to start a report that will accompany this study. We had to write an introduction about the drug, Methamphetamine and provide some background information about the study area and the data we'll be looking at. I'm intrigued to see how this report will turn out in the coming weeks.
