Mapping and GIS

A map showing wildfire burn severity along a river. The map is divided into two parts: left side shows satellite imagery with burn severity color overlay in green, yellow, tan, and red indicating unburned to severe burn; right side shows burn severity with a pixelated color overlay matching the severity levels. Blue lines indicate beaver pond buffers, black circles represent beaver sites, and orange triangles mark control sites, all along the river.
