EVS-Islands: Ostrov Tyuleniy RS

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!

This Caspian Sea island is off of the coast of Dagestan. I have been digitizing this island for the past week. It was a fairly complex project due to the marshland that makes up much of the island. My research uncovered reports on Tyuleniy birds, insects, fish and crude oil exploration. The crude oil exploration was conducted back in 2005 by the German company Wintershall. Turns out they are one of the big players in the world of oil. They are working with Russian groups to explore this potentially oil rich region in the Caspian. My look into Wintershall's website did not uncover any additional information.

I like my map. It looks good and is as accurate as Landsat imagery allows.

Enjoy!
