About This Project

This project showcases different arches in the United States layered on top of a hillshade. While largely focusing on Red River Gorge, this web map allows readers to interact with different natural arches around the country and discern their locations. Hiking in Red River Gorge is one of my favorite hobbies, so I hope you enjoy this imagery. Curious about these arches in real life? Check out these pictures!
