Abstract
This TIF-format Hillshade image is a raster representation of land elevation of Wisconsin. This Hillshade ("hlximag30.tif") is derived from the 7.5-minute (30-meter) DEMs published by the US Geological Survey (USGS).
Purpose
This image is intended for on-screen cartographic display to convey an impression of the land surface elevation of Wisconsin. Land elevation has been exaggerated by a factor of 8 to enhance the vertical dimension of the landscape. The image is intended for viewing in GIS software. The data is not intended for for use in analysis.
