standard maps: city wide map series
|
Some types of geographic information, such as neighborhood
boundaries
or census geography, can be appropriately displayed on a City-wide map. Because a
City-wide map can depict only general patterns they are
typically used for broad planning
purposes or to provide a generalized geographic context.
Available themes include:
Street Network,
Shaded Relief Map,
Census Geography,
Neighborhood Council Districts,
Surface Geology, City Business Sectors,
Fiber Optic Network

| Shaded Relief
Map |
 |
This attractive poster map is created from a digital
surface model, which was generated from the City's 2ft elevation contour layer.
Specifications for color, hue, saturation and angle of the sun were combined with the
surface relief to provide a good graphical display of Seattle terrain. Its generalized
nature makes it useful as a quick reference for City staff and citizens seeking an overview
of primary physical features in Seattle. The Shaded Relief Map is also used by
geologists and structural engineers when conducting planning-level investigations and
analysis. |
