Let's Settle - what's the best location?

Where would you choose to settle?

Write an essay to analyze the location of your settlement citing justifications with specific textual evidence.  You must include at least 4 pieces of evidence that provide accurate reasoning for settling in that geographic location as well as explaining the importance of the natural resources (example).
