EVS-Islands: Paraoa Atoll FP

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!

Paraoa Atoll FP

Hao Paraoa (19˚08'S., 140˚41'W.) is wooded and its lagoon is inaccessible. The atoll is a dependency of Hao. In passing to windward of the atoll, attention should be given to the current, which has been observed to set strongly toward it. (SD Pub-126)

A small atoll located in the Mid to Southern Tuamotus. These very small atolls always fascinate me. I guess it is the Robinson Crusoe in me that longs for a visit to a place like this. It is reported to be uninhabited, visited occasionally.

The Landsat imagery for this atoll is cloud obscured in parts. I had to supplement that base imagery with Space Shuttle imagery to fill in the blanks. The map does include identification of cloud obscured areas.

Enjoy!
