These draft maps were made as part of USGS outreach activities, and depict the Colorado Trail on various color shaded relief backdrops. Initially begun in 2007, the final draft was delivered to the Colorado Trail Foundation in 2012. Maps are in GeoPDF format, and thus are useful for quickly determining rough coordinates for locations or sending locations to Google Maps using the free TerraGo Toolbar (http://www.terragotech.com/products/terrago-toolbar) in Adobe Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/?ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_get_reader).

Set of two maps - with and without labeled hydrography. Selected cities were added to the original color shaded relief map of Alabama made by the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. The original relief map without cities can be downloaded at http://eros.usgs.gov/imagegallery/states-ned-shaded-relief.

Exploiting high-resolution topography for advancing the understanding of mass and energy transfer across landscapes: Opportunities, challenges, and needs
One of the grand challenges of Earth Surface Science and Natural Resource Management lies in the prediction of mass and energy transfer for large watersheds and landscapes. High resolution topography (lidar) datasets show potential to significantly advance our understanding of hydrologic and geomorphic processes controlling mass and energy transfer because they represent features at the appropriate fine scale on which surface processes operate. While lidar datasets have become readily available across the United States, challenges remain in extracting accurate and objective information relevant for hydrologic and geomorphic research, modeling, and prediction, as well as watershed management. We primarily focus our...
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
