U.S. Offers New Wall Map of Alaska
WASHINGTON — Americans with a large wall and a large interest in Alaska can now study the 49th state through a new wall map prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The 3-by-4-foot relief map resembles a satellite photo but was actually computer-generated. Mountains, lowlands and lakes are readily visible and the map is designed to appear as though lighted by the sun at a low angle.
The “Digital Shaded-Relief Image of Alaska” and accompanying booklet can be purchased for $4 from the EROS Data Center, Mundt Federal Building, Sioux Falls, S.D. 57198, or by calling (800) USA-MAPS.
