EVS-Islands

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!

Iriomote-Jima - Map

I would post information from Sailing Directions. However, for this island the information is scanty. There are numerous web sites that contain great information about this island. Iriomote-Jima is an eco-tourists delight. It is largely covered by a dense sub-tropical forest. It has sufficient rainfall to sustain rivers. The rivers are navigable and serve as highways into the interior of the island. I digitized this island about 2-years ago. It was one of my first efforts using Global Mapper. I also digitized reefs for the first time. It is a nice shoreline map. Here are a few links that will enable you to further explore this neat island: Okinawa Travel Guide - Some interesting pictures and information. The Islands of Yaeyama - Another tourist oriented site with loads of information and photos. Iriomote Island - This site has an interesting layout that allows you to explore the island. Enjoy the exploration.
