Damon D. Judd 1986 <p>An experimental computer-generated shaded-relief map of a topographic quadrangle of Nome, Alaska, at 1:1,000,000 scale was created to demonstrate current capabilities of map production. This paper describes the techniques used to produce the map product.</p> <p>The data consisted of forty-eight 1&deg; by 1&deg; blocks of resampled digital elevation model (DEM) data. These data were digitally mosaicked and assigned colors based on intervals of elevation values. The color-coded data set was then used to create a shaded-relief image that was photographically composited with cartographic line information to produce a shaded-relief map. The majority of the processing was completed at the National Mapping Division EROS Data Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.</p> application/pdf 10.1559/152304086783900149 en Taylor & Francis Processing techniques for the production of an experimental computer-generated shaded-relief map article
