Digitally Rendered 3D Topographic Maps

Inspired by artists like Lee Griggs, Daniel Huffman and Sam Caldwell - publicly available elevation data is combined with historical maps to create a new artistic topographic perspective.

Digital Elevation Model (DEM) information is used to create a 3D interpretation of the underlying topography, using Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping software. Once the Digital Elevation Data is obtained for a specific topographic area, this information is digitally rendered to transform the historical two dimensional maps to a new 3D map using rendering Software and Photoshop.
