Description
Using 1:50,000 National Topographic Data, the information was generalized for use at a scale of 1:100,000. Bathymetric data from the Canadian Hydrographic service was also used to give balance to the hydrographic areas, and interact with the hillshade on land areas. The map was designed to show Vancouver and the surrounding areas in a graphically interesting manner while still showing as much topographic information as possible.
