This is a link to the first thing I ever created from my GIS software at home. It looks pretty simple, but there were a couple of queries I had to write, and figure out a few formatting issues.

I want it to keep by the weather radio. When they are describing storm paths, they always do it by county, and I have no idea where the counties are in relation to each other.

If any one wants me to create them a county map, just let me know. My next project for myself is to figure out how to outline all the counties from a given fixed point (only show the counties that are within a 150 radius of Chicago). This map is all the counties in Illinois and Indiana.
