The Existing Infrastructure map shows that there is very little existing infrastructure already inside the park. There are very few buildings and some roads mostly located in the north eastern side.
Mount Airy Forest
When analyzing the Landslide Risk & Slope in Mt. Airy we found that in most of the steepest areas in the southern region the highest risk for landslides were present.

The Soil Types in the park are mostly well drained with a few exceptions of moderate. There is no potential flood risk for these types of soild found in the park.

The Drainage Map shows natural and man made drainage systems. Most man made drains are found outside the park and very few inside because the topography provides natural ways of drainage.

During our Mt. Airy Suitability Analysis we determined 3 sites that we thought had the most potential for future development. With each site we looked at slope, soil drainage, potential landslide risk, natural drainage, the existing infrastructure, and accessibility to the sites. The chart above displays the ratings we gave each site for each category. Each rate has a value which was totaled to determine what site we thought would best for future development. We concluded that Site 1 would be the best for future development followed by Site 2 as second best and then Site 3.
