The georeferenced raster images match the National Atlas vector linework. Map colors reflect natural environments across the continent from the forested east to the snowcapped Rockies to the desert southwest.ġ00-meter Natural Earth of the US, Puerto Rico, & US Virgin IslandsĪ re-release of the Natural Earth relief/land cover data made for the US National Atlas. Arid lowlands, such as Death Valley, are brown instead of green.Ī map with over 3,000 labels showcasing the mountains, rivers, and lakes of the 48 contiguous US states. The relief has a 3D appearance and cross-blended hypsometric tints depict elevations.

Plan-oblique Relief Map of the Contiguous USĪn updated 2007 map with brighter colors and more place name labels. The map is available with and without labels.

The terrain derives from High Mountain Asia elevation data supplemented with glaciers extracted from a June, 2016, Landsat image. It is available as a free GeoTIFF DEM.Ī high-oblique view of Mount Everest from the west-northwest. Above the waves, the map offers select coastal cities for reference.Īn edited and smoothed version of GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) designed for small-scale mapping of the ocean floor-without unsightly artifacts. This map showcases the exotic bottom features of the North Atlantic Ocean, including abyssal plains, banks, canyons, seamounts, trenches, and the scar-like Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Use these data for evaluating terrain visualizations and testing software. So that mapmakers and researchers have "common ground" for comparative experimentation, this website offers multi-resolution DEMs, and DEMs of archetypal landforms. Map colors reflect natural environments throughout the continent from Greenland ice cap to the tropical rainforests of Central America. The panorama is available with and without labels.Ī map with over 5,000 labels showcasing mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, ocean bathymetry and more. It focuses on the Alaskan coast and the largest piedmont glacier on Earth. Preliminary data are now available for download.Ī 3D view North America's icy heartland, the Saint Elias Mountains. We are rebuilding this venerable cartographic dataset from scratch at 1:7,500,000-scale, starting with coastlines, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and Antarctic ice shelves.
