Colored shaded-relief bathymetric map and orthomosaic from structure-from-motion quantitative underwater imaging device with five cameras of the Lake Tahoe floor, California

This two-sheet publication displays a high-resolution colored shaded-relief bathymetric map (sheet 1) and orthomosaic (sheet 2) of part of the Lake Tahoe floor in California generated from a U.S. Geological Survey towed surface vehicle with multiple downward-looking underwater cameras. The system is named the Structure-from-Motion Quantitative Underwater Imaging Device with Five Cameras (SQUID-5). The cameras were synchronized with each other and with a survey-grade Global Navigation Satellite System. A total of 42,939 photographs were collected with nearly complete overlapping coverage of an area approximately 250 meters by 250 meters. A digital terrain model and an orthomosaic were generated from the overlapping photographs using Structure-from-Motion and photogrammetry techniques. Gaps are present in the bathymetry data owing to data-collection or -processing artifacts. These two sheets display the very fine details of the lake floor mapped using SQUID-5.

Color-coded topography and shaded relief map of the lunar near side and far side hemispheres

This publication is a set of three sheets of topographic maps that presents color-coded topographic data digitally merged with shaded relief data. Adopted figure: The figure for the Moon, used for the computation of the map projection, is a sphere with a radius of 1737.4 km. Because the Moon has no surface water, and hence no sea level, the datum (the 0 km contour) for elevations is defined as the radius of 1737.4 km. Coordinates are based on the mean Earth/polar axis (M.E.) coordinates system, the z axis is the axis of the Moon's rotation, and the x axis is the mean Earth direction. The center of mass is the origin of the coordinate system. The equator lies in the x-y plane and the prime meridian lies in the x-z plane with east longitude values being positive. Projection: The projection is Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Projection. The scale factor at the central latitude and central longitude point is 1:10,000,000. For the near side hemisphere the central latitude and central longitude point is at 0° and 0°. For the far side hemisphere the central latitude and central longitude point is at 0° and 180°.

The topographic and geologic atlas of the United States

The Geological Survey is making a topographic and geologic map of the United States. The topographic map is being published in separate sheets and the geologic map in parts called folios. Each folio includes a topographic map and geologic maps of a small area, together with explanatory and descriptive text. Beginning with No. 164 the geologic folios are issued in two forms, the octavo or field edition and the folio or library edition.
