Welcome The goal of this site is to assist cartographers with the presentation of shaded relief, 3D panoramas, and related raster art on maps. I work as a cartographer for the US National Park Service, Harpers Ferry Center. For additional shaded relief information I recommend: www.reliefshading.com |

Terrain Texture Shader – Software for Enhancing Shaded Relief on Maps |
||
This software renders DEMs to produce texture shading images that, when combined with shaded relief, accentuate landform details and enhance three dimensionality. You can also create rock textures that resemble rock art on Swiss topographic maps. |
||
This tutorial, aimed at mapmakers and illustrators, discusses where to get and how to make Landsat 8 scenes in Adobe Photoshop. The focus is on creating natural-color images that look similar to what an astronaut looking down at Earth would see. |

The Design of Gray Earth: A Monochrome Terrain Dataset of the World |
||
A Web preview of an article that will apepar in Cartographic Perspectives No. 74. The article discusses Gray Earth, the newest raster basemap in the Natural Earth collection, featuring shaded relief merged with locally-enhanced hypsometric tints. |
||
Natural Earth for the National AtlasXXData now available! |
||
Take a sneak peek at my current project—creating a new version of Natural Earth relief/land cover data at 100-meter resolution for the USGS National Atlas. The georeferenced raster images match the National Atlas vector linework. |
||
Peruse dozens of oblique bird's-eye view maps of national parks in the United States. The site offers views produced by both traditional and digital techniques, and by commercial contractors and NPS staff. |
