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!

My comments will be brief on this post. I spent about 4-hours to digitize, map and post the Isle of Wight project. I undertook this project after learning about this island from a visitor to this site. He shared about a project called OpenStreetMap.org. Members are encouraged to produce their own unique mapping. One of the members recently mapped the Isle of Wight using an old map (no copyright).

I like my map of the island. It started out being a simple shoreline map. That changed when I worked in the rivers located on the island. I made some decisions about the ground cover in these river systems. Study the detailed map to see those choices mapped.

I think the choices were good based on the imagery. I enjoyed working on this island. It has been awhile since I digitized a new area. Lots of fun. OC: Atlantic
