FIgUre 18 shows the locations of <br />these sites. <br />Three of the sites were chosen as case studies <br />because they demonstrate the types of landslide hazards <br />that affect this state, different levels of government and <br />private involvement, and a variety of mitigative action. <br />They can also be compared to similar cases in other <br />states. These case studies are summarized in this <br />chapter and discussed in detail in Appendix 5. <br /> <br />SEDGWICK <br /> <br />L~33 <br /> <br />LOGAN <br /> <br />WELD <br /> <br />PHILLIPS <br /> <br />C=>=32 <br /> <br />MORGAN <br /> <br /> <br />YUMA <br /> <br />ADAMS <br /> <br />WASHINGTON <br /> <br />ARAPAHOE <br /> <br />8,9 <br /> <br />KIT CARSON <br /> <br />ELBERT <br /> <br />COSTILLA <br /> <br />SACA <br /> <br />LAS ANIMAS <br /> <br />Figure 18.
