Description:
This map portrays surface elevation as shaded relief. This map is used as a basemap layer to add shaded relief to other GIS maps, such as the ArcGIS Online World Street Map. It is especially useful in maps that do not contain orthoimagery. The map resolution (cell size) is as follows:
- 30 Meters for the U.S.
- 90 Meters for all land areas between 60° north and 56° south latitude.
- 1 Kilometer resolution above 60° north and 56° south.
The shaded relief imagery was developed by ESRI using GTOPO30, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and National Elevation Data (NED) data from the USGS.
