Google My Maps tour of the hazard on Hangman Creek

Clicking the link above will take you to a Google My Map I created that takes you from the laboratory classroom where my GIS class meets to a selected point on Hangman Creek off 195. When you arrive at this site you will be looking at the scarp of a mass wasting event that is endangering the property of the person situated above. Having said that most of the cause for the slide is due to the activities of the neighborhood situated above. The over saturation of the sediments has lead to the wasting events, as well as the creek below beginning to eat into the toe of the slide destabilizing it.
