Zia Landform Images CD-ROM of digital relief base maps released.
Zia Maps of Boulder, Colorado has released a new CD-ROM of digital base
maps called Zia Landform Images (ZLI). Created for graphic artists and
cartographers using desktop publishing and GIS applications to produce maps.
ZLI features raster color shaded relief base maps with text and line
overlays. Included are all 50 United States, and 10 sub regions and the
continental USA. A special World Wide Web version (down sampled GIF
format) of all the raster images is available for use with home pages.
The raster relief base maps serve as the focus and foundation of this
product and all are "geo-reference" with UTM, Lat/Long coordinates, and
pixel resolution for those using GIS.
Overlaid lines and corresponding text are registered to the relief maps
and include; state line, county lines, major drainage/open water,
selected city/towns and physiographic features, and significant public
parks names.
Fully editable file formats for the above line and text include
Macromedia FreeHand* v3.1 and v5.0, Adobe Illustrator* v1.1 and v5.0.
Raster base maps are in TIFF and GIF and have a printing resolution of
150 lpi at approximately 4x6 inches. There are no royalties, use or
registration fees.
Source data and processing;
USGS digital elevation models, 30 arc second, were merged, filtered and
imaged by CTM of Boulder, CO, using EdWare*. Projected in Albers with
each image having its own central meridian. All images have been
cartographically altered correcting original data errors, especially in
the coastal regions. USGS DLG (digital line graph) data was merged,
layered and cross reference for text and line placement.
Final composition was with Macromedia FreeHand* v5.0 and exported to
FreeHand v3.1, Adobe Illustrator* v5.0 and v1.1. All line and text is
grouped by category. Raster image pixel count was selected by weighing
the needs of color printing resolution for a 1/3 to 1/2 page size and an
opened file size of 2 to 3 megabytes.
