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!

Nassau Island - Map

Nassau Island (11˚31'S., 165˚25'W.) lies about 165 miles NW of Suwarrow Atoll; it is 21m high to the top of the coconut palms. The island is surrounded by a steep-to fringing reef, which is about 90 to 130m wide on the E, S, and W sides, but comes in close to the beach on the N side. The prevailing winds from April to September are the SE trades. At other times, winds may vary from the NE to W. (SD Pub-126)

Nassau Island is small and the only Cook Island without a lagoon. As of 2001 under 100 people lived on the island. There is some old information at this site. It talks about some early 20th century doings at this island. I like this island. It was a 1-hour project from start to post. If only all projects were like this one. Quick to digitize and quality product. Nice combination.
