Sample Map
The Bathymetry of North America map layer is a tinted image showing the depth of ocean waters around North America, created by grouping the depth values into ranges and then assigning colors to the different ranges. The tint indicating the shallowest depths also includes the land areas of North America. This image was produced by the National Atlas of the United States® and is intended for visual purposes only; the original ETOPO2 data must be used for conducting analysis and determining specific bathymetric values. Further information on bathymetry, including additional data sets, is available from the National Geophysical Data Center Bathymetry and Global Relief page. The National Atlas also includes a Bathymetric Shaded Relief of North America map layer that shows depth below sea level with relief enhanced by shading. |
