The second of my stalled projects for review. This started out as an experiment with plan oblique terrain representations in Natural Scene Designer and evolved into this. The line work was laid over the terrain in MAPublisher and manually adjusted to properly drape over the plan oblique terrain.
A typical map of this area will be linear and aligned with N at the top and reading of the map side to side. I was interested in displaying the layout of the valley in map form as a visitor experiences it on entry, and by shifting the map to a E up orientation you enable a plan oblique view that is more in line with what you see as you drive in. It also reflects our subconscious imagery of the valley ala Ansel Adams and Carleton Watkins.
It's a neat experiment but not of it's merits as a map. For one thing I'd need to redo the terrain and add more color I think. This ended up very drab and I'd like to show the valley in green at least. Possibly experiment with terrain bumping or texture replacement for land cover classes.
Not sure if I want to commit to it as my only outlet for these maps is Avenza PDF Maps and this would only show the correct user GPS location at the alley floor (I think, haven't had a chance to test it yet).
