EVS-Islands: Sadoga-shima JA - A Preliminary Study

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!

Sadoga-shima JA - A Preliminary Study

Sadoga-shima JA

I knew that this project would be challenging. I have been working on it for three-days. The mountains have some features that I still want to map. Also the coast is ringed with EVS Urban Areas that remain to be mapped. In addition, I want to delineate the farming area that encompasses the lowland between the two mountain ranges.

The map already contains 440 unique features. I have more hours to invest on this project before it is completed. My base imagery is Landsat ETM+, so some features will be roughly digitized. By the time I finish this will be a solid mapping effort.

For the curious I include the following link that gives basic information about Sadoga-shima. Hopefully, I will finish this project by next week.

I am tired and at the tail-end of a cold I caught from my students. Rest is the cure. Goodnite.

Enjoy!
