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!
Ducie Atoll - ISS Image ISS002-E-10043
Ducie Atoll - Marplot Map
I ended up using an Space Shuttle image to digitize this map. It is a good map. The reef is largely awash. This island is visited occassionally by Pitcairn Islanders. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre has information on the island. The island is a part of the Protected Area and World Heritage Programme.
Enjoy!

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.
