Mount Spokane Maps

This weeks assignment was to find an area we found interesting from the USGS website and use that map image to manipulate different views. I chose Mount Spokane!

Here is a map of what the first image looked like:

Next I took this image and looked at the hillshade of the same area:

Here is a map of the slope of the mountain:

This was so cool! We got to make a 3D image of our map!!!

 

 





How cool is that?! I had a lot of fun moving the mountain around so that I could see the land changes easily. I really like how the color scale shows emphasizes the image and how the white looks like it represents snow up on the mountain! I was up snowshoeing on Mount Spokane last  weekend and doing this assignment makes me want to go again! It is really neat to see how manipulating maps emphasizes what information you want to portray. From one image I was able to change the way the map looked drastically just by viewing it in different aspects. Creating the 3D image was my favorite part!
