I Made A Series Of National Park Topography Prints

Working with the elevation data of Americas best idea, I used color combinations to reinterpret these national treasures.

Crater Lake National Park

With Crater Lake, I used 2 different color schemes to show the elevation of the lake surface

Wizard Island, and the steep shoreline

Numerous streams radiate out from the crater, starting from springs

Mt Scott on the east of the lake

Arches National Park

Arches contains the highest detail I have done with these series so far

Fiery Furnace

Balanced rock and the Windows

The dots in the upper left are Balanced Rock, and the windows section are the fine detail just right and below the center of the image

Great Sand Dunes

With this map, I changed the color scheme at the elevation of the highest Dunes

Some poor person had to survey the dunes

Detail of the Mountains encompassed in the National Preserve

The transition from valley floor to the dunes

I love topographical maps! When I studied them in high school I can remember some students understood them intuitively and other people struggled with the concept. I wonder if something like this could be used to make them easier to understand.
