EVS-Islands: Data - Enhanced Vector Shoreline Mapping of the Caspian Sea Shorelines (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!

Data - Enhanced Vector Shoreline Mapping of the Caspian Sea Shorelines (Repost)

Caspian Sea Slideshow

I have had a few visitors hunting for information about the Caspian Sea. Typically, I send them to Caspian Environment. This site has loads of great data and links about the Caspian Sea.

What I have managed to do some months ago was to digitize most of the Caspian Sea shoreline at EVS precision. My shoreline makes the best currently available (1:1,000,000) appear crude. My EVS shoreline mirrors cloud free Landsat ETM+ 2000 imagery shorelines. Most of the digitizing was done at 1:12,500 scale.

This post contains Marplot maps of two interesting areas within the Caspian Sea - The Miankaleh Peninsula and Gorgan Bay and the Apsheron Peninsula, the location of Baku, AZ. I have displayed 1:2,000,000 scale shoreline, which I call WVS. These are compared to map images that display EVS shorelines.

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.
