Maps

Lawrence Ormsby created these maps by using USGS DEMs (digital elevation maps, data that gives him XYZ coordinates of the landform), and manipulating in a three-D software application. Or in some cases, he's hand-shaded by painting in Photoshop with a digital pad, and looking at aerial photographs or DEM renditions to figure out the shading. All of the topographical maps that he's worked on, Larry has drawn each topographical line. Carole works on the typography for the maps.
