Sample Maps & Models


Please note these are large maps and models that may initially take 10 to 30 seconds to load.

The maps may be viewed directly on your computer, but you will need to click on the large maps to see the full image and then use your slider bars to pan around.  For easier viewing on a computer, it is better to right-click the links for the large maps and then click "Save Link As" to save the image to your computer.  Then open the file with your Windows Photos viewer to zoom in/out and pan around the map.  The maps and models can be zoomed and panned with your fingers on a cell phone.

The 3D models will display directly from the links on a computer or a cell phone, but they are intended for computer screens where large areas may be viewed in full detail.



SAMPLE MAPS

North Sylamore Creek Wild & Scenic River Corridor  This map shows the camping and recreation areas for the North Sylamore Creek Wild & Scenic River Corridor near Mountain View, Arkansas.  The map will display in full on a 1920 x 1080 computer screen.

Colorado Aspens Topo Map  This map shows areas with aspen trees for Western Colorado based on Landsat multispectral remote sensing satellite data.  Right-click and save the image to pan and zoom with your Windows Photos viewer - 32MB

Middle_Shoal_Ceeek_Topo  This map shows 2ft contours for Middle Shoal Creek in Southwest Missouri.  The contours are generated from 1-meter resolution aerial LIDAR data.  There are many interesting features if you look around closely.  Notice the detail of the the braided stream channels.  Right-click and save the image to pan and zoom with your Windows Photos viewer - 73MB

Rockspan Farm Interactive Map  This is an interactive map of the Rockspan Farm in Greene County, MO. Clicking the points on the map will display photos from the point locations. 



SAMPLE 3D INTERACTIVE MODELS

Mouse Controls For Interactive Models

Valley Water Mill Tree Canopy Height Model
This model shows 3D trees on an interactive model of Valley Water Mill Lake north of Springfield, MO.  The tree height legend is in the bottom left corner.  The slider bars allow variable transparency of the tree canopy and the contours.  You can click the layer icon in the upper left-hand corner to turn the slider bar display off and on.  The model is based on aerial LIDAR data overlain on high resolution aerial imagery and 0.5-meter resolution LIDAR topographic data.

Buffalo River - Big Bluff Area - 3D Tree Canopy Height Model
This model shows 3D trees on an interactive model of the Buffalo River from Steel Creek Campground to Big Bluff in Northwest Arkansas.  The tree height legend is in the bottom left corner.  The tallest red colored trees are mostly pine and beech with some tall oaks.  The green lines show the Buffalo River hiking and horse trails.  The model is based on aerial LIDAR data overlain on 2-foot resolution aerial imagery and 1-meter resolution LIDAR topographic data.

Buffalo River - Big Bluff Area - Tree Canopy Height Topo Model
This model shows tree height data overlain on 2-foot aerial photography and 1-meter topographic data for the Buffalo River in Northwest Arkansas.  The model extends from Steel Creek Campground to Jim Bluff.  The finest contours are at two-foot intervals. Side streams shown by blues lines are genterated from LIDAR topographic data by hydrologic computer modeling. The tree height legend is in the bottom left corner.  The tallest red colored trees are mostly pine and beech with some tall oaks.  The model is based on aerial LIDAR data overlain on 2-foot resolution aerial imagery and 1-meter resolution LIDAR topographic data.

Ponca Wilderness Geology Model
This model shows the geology of the Buffalo River from Steel Creek Campground to Camp Orr in Northwest Arkansas.  The geology legend may be opened by clicking the link in the bottom left corner.  The model is based on 1-meter resolution LIDAR topographic data and geologic mapping by the Arkansas Geological Survey.

Camp Wakonda Animated 3D Geomorphology-Photo Model
This animated model shows geomorphology for the Camp Wakonda Scout Camp southwest of Halltown in Southwest Missouri.  The model will change to aerial imagery and back to the geomorphology model as it turns. The model may be viewed interactively after the animation is finished.  The geomorphology legend is shown in the upper left corner.  The layer control in the upper right-hand corner may by used to change layer transparencies or restart the animation.  The 3D image model is developed by photogrammetry from 3-centimeter resolution data aquired by drone aerial photography.  The raised area adjacent to the stream is created by an ancient Pennsylvanian Age river channel deposit and contains benches and a podium.  The spiked areas are tree trucks that still need to be removed by hand processing.

Rockspan Lake Hydrogeology Model Video  This model animation video shows how fracture patterns control groundwater flow and karst feature development including a cave spring at Rockspan Lake west of Springfield, MO.  The animation will begin a few seconds after the video loads.  Narration and labels are currently be added to the video.  The model is based on 1-meter resolution LIDAR data and higher resolution topographic data obtained by drone photogrammetry in the spring area. As the model rotates, it will shown fracture lineaments in red for the NW-SE direction and green for the NE-SW direction.  The video will zoom in on the spring area that feeds the lake and contains a natural arch.  The map shows a drainage hollow on the northwest side of spring that is suspected of losing water to fractures.  The 3D tree canopy shows large trees growing in deep alluvium that appears to have been deposited by the loss of stream flow.  Water flowing through fractures and caves emerges at the spring.
