Abstract

The USGS Topographic Maps Over a Hillshaded Digital Elevation Model was created using ArcGIS 9.0. U.S. Geologic Survey 7.5 minute topographic maps at a scale of 1:24 000 for the entire state of Maine were placed over a hillshaded digital elevation model for the entire state of Maine. The topographic maps were set at 40% transparency to allow elevational features to be more pronounced.
