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!

Data: Fantastic Data for Hawaiian Islands and It's Free!

USGS Hawaii Data Clearinghouse

The data is a map-aholics dream. The vector files cover all aspects of each of the islands geography. The raster images are stunning.

There are eight-layers of information. Four-layers are vector data and four-layers are raster data. I easily imported (without unzipping the data) directly into Global Mapper for immediate viewing. The setup of this site is effortless to negotiate and the data is great.

A second data source for these islands is the Hawaii Coastal Geology Group. I first encountered this group when I snagged World Vector Shorelines reconfigured into GSHHS format. The link above contains loads of quality information about the islands along with some stunning imagery of all of the islands at extremely fine detail.

The Original Image is 3387-pixels by 3327-pixels

The above image does not do justice to the very large image that your will be able to download. It is excellent for a wide variety of purposes. Have fun with the data and enjoy Hawaii.
