----------------------------Original message---------------------------- From; Zia Maps 695 Left Fork Road Boulder, CO 80302 (303)444-9391, FAX (303)444-9610, 1-800-844-9391 May, 1996 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.
