geomaps

Google Earth® is an amazing tool that has revolutionized how we are able to view the Earth through satellite imagery. Now it can be even better: we've turned it into a powerful tool for viewing bare naked landforms by stripping the "noise" of vegetation and the patchwork nature of the imagery.

Explore the big picture of physiographic provinces, or get down to the nitty gritty of volcanic debris, scoria cones and volcanic plugs. Compare the different types of volcanoes in one frame and see explore connections among them. View the entire drainage systems of Mts. Rainier, St. Helens, Hood, and others to predict where lahars will flow and who is at risk. The possibilities are endless.

Geologic History of the Pacific NW GeoMap - Side 1

Originally created as a museum exhibit for a general audience, many users - including geology professors - have called this map the best visual display of Pacific NW geology that currently exists. Used widely in classrooms (about 5th grade through college), it is also a popular museum/nature center gift shop/bookstore item.
