EVS-Islands: Clipperton Island FR (Repost)

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

Clipperton Island - Marplot Map Landsat Image from N-12-10_2000

It has been some time since I was able to post a completed island. It seems that Blogger is running a bit on the slow side. Anyway, here goes a new post. Clipperton Island is known as a great sport fishing destination. It is also home to a weird tale about a king and his unwilling court. You can find out about that story at other places on the Internet.

The map was a challenge to create. Using MARPLOT and non-copyright images, I was able to create the map. The Landsat image was very course. In addition, cloud cover obscured parts of the island. Through mapping dilligence and keen eyesight, I was able to complete the above project. I think it looks just fine.

Enjoy!
