About the Map: The GeoJango Shaded Relief Map of the USA beautifully illustrates the diverse landscapes of the United States in three exclusive color variations. Our team of skilled geographers used sophisticated GIS data and techniques to transform thousands of data points into the intricately detailed wrinkles and shadows of the Earth's surface.
Geographical Data: Our Topographic Map of USA was developed entirely using measurements from satellites and space missions and a combination of GIS software and 3D modeling software. We used the famous Space Shuttle Radiometric Topographic Mission, SRTM Data, to determine the elevation of the entire country. With the data, we calculated the angle of the sun and applied a number of lighting effects to create a truly unique hillshade to create an optical illusion of texture on the map's surface.
