You will notice that, in the Map view, the CensusCOH_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer HISTORIC_DISTRICTS layer is now drawn in on top of the MajorCOH_HISTORIC_RoadsSITESLANDMARKS layer, meaning that freeways historic sites are only visible in areas not covered by a super neighborhoodhistoric district. It is possible to add transparency to the super neighborhood historic district layer or to symbolize it with a bold outline and a hollow fill, but, in general, it is best to have polygon layers at the bottom of the drawing order, so we will return the layers to their previous order.
- In the Contents pane, click and hold the CensusCOH_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood layer HISTORIC_DISTRICTS layer name and drag and drop it beneath the Major_Roads layer, but above the Topographic basemapRivers layer.
