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 worked as a cartographer for the US National Park Service, Harpers Ferry Center, until retiring in 2108. For additional shaded relief information I recommend: www.reliefshading.com |
