Description
A standard nautical chart of St Mary's Bay was reproduced with some enhancements. 1:50,000 National Topographic Data was used for the land areas along with 1:10,000 land data for some of the insets. To give the map a more appealing look the bathymetric and hypsometric data has been combined with a hillshade. The aim of the design is to give the already useful chart an element of realism and depth.
