Most people do not have a completely clear understanding of the hydrological systems they live within. I thought a tool that uses maps to visualize these areas could help people to start to learn about and consider their place within these regions. This project asks the user the supply a location and then, depending on their selection, displays a map of either the state, aquifer or watershed boundary for the given city.

This project touches a lot of different parts of the Mapbox stack: geocoding, to make the maps reflect a specific place; the Surface API, to query data stored in the tiles; and GL-based maps, which offer dynamic visual control and whose rendering helps dramatize the shifts between state, watershed and aquifer boundaries.
