EVS-Islands: Abou Maya DJ (Repost)

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!

Abou Maya - Marplot Map

This map is more about a natural "choke point" and only a little about islands. I think that islands, no matter how small they are, that are part of a "choke point" are fascinating. They become larger than their actual size. Abou Maya Island is located in Djibouti. It is 185-meters from the northern shore and 500-meters from the southern shore. It turns out that the northern pass is the deeper one. Ghoubbet Kharab is the bay that Abou Maya fronts.

Abou Maya - Map with WVS and EVS

As I was preparing to republish this map I noticed that the WVS layer was turned on along with the EVS layer. Everytime I compare the two layers, my zeal to produce a new level of mapping accuracy is reinforced. The world needs an improved "free" shoreline map - Enhanced Vector Shoreline

Enjoy!

Software I Recommend

Purchase Global Mapper v9

Trial Download Global Mapper v9

A moderately priced, easy-to-use GIS package, which I use to load, view and work with Landsat ETM+ imagery from which I digitize layers of information for my island maps.
