United States Painted Relief
This painted relief map was created using GTOPO30 elevation data from the U.S. Geological Survey. More information on this dataset can be found at the following website: http://eros.usgs.gov/#Find_Data/Products_and_Data_Available/gtopo30_info The elevation data was transformed into a painted relief image using a process documented by Jeffery Nighbert of the Bureau of Land Management. This process was presented as a poster at the '95 ESRI User Conference. The State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) Database was used to overlay water bodies on the painted relief map.
