I Made A Series Of National Park Topography Prints

ADVERTISEMENT

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

    Devils Garden

    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

    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.
