seamless
You all know of Google Maps. Did you know of the USGS Seamless Map?
Click to zoom, as you might expect. But under the disclosure triangle “Elevation,” try looking at an area you’re geographically familiar with with the selection “NED shaded relief (1/9 arc second)” set. I turned off the road labels but kept the roads on, under the “Transportation” triangle.
South Park
Some news and information regarding the neighborhood of South Park in Seattle. Recently, the Stranger featured a charming tale of the neighborhood association’s new meeting spot, a watering hole known as the County Line. Prior to that, the P-I featured not one but two stories concerning gang-related killings and community response in the one-square mile neighborhood directly to the south of Georgetown. In 1999, the P-I’s Regina Hackett also contributed a sunny survey of the neighborhood’s future.
The neighborhood association’s old-school website contains links to information about a number of things including some interesting historical data from the City of Seattle and Historylink.org.
