Hatutu Island FP - Eiao's Little Brother
Hatutu Island - Digital Globe Image (1:25,000)
Hatutu island - Marplot Map (1-25,000)
Let me begin by apologizing to the fine folks at DigitalGlobe. Their imagery for this island is actually depicted by the bottom half of the image composite. The upper, grainy image is a thumbnail of imagery they have in their archive for this island. So, if I would have had the northern imagery to combine with the southern portion of the island, you would be looking at a nearly cloud-free image of Hatutu Island, which isn't cloud-free very often.
However, the shoreline I was able to fashion from this composite is excellent, based on the available imagery. The shoreline would allow researchers the opportunity to plot information onto the island surface with reasonable accuracy. Let me modify that, with excellent accuracy based on currently available mapping.

I'm still waiting for my funding source - merely a living wage, access to Digital Globe's extensive archive of Hi-Res imagery and then get out of my way and let me make maps to share with the rest of us FOR FREE. That's all I need. Any takers?
Enjoy!
