Nantucket
Our Nantucket map may win the prize of "most subtle" Slope + Aspect map to date. That said, the details in this map are stunning, pulled from high resolution elevation data, we can easily see the glacial moraine along the northern half of the island and the gentle slopes of outwash plain through the southern half. Beaches in the north, including Jetties and Brant Point are protected by the concave shape of the shoreline and Nantucket Sound. The south shore provides for larger waves, with beaches facing out towards the Atlantic Ocean. Continue past the western tip of Nantucket, and you will first come across Tuckernuck Island, followed by Muskeget Island.
Data used in this map is 1m LiDAR data from the "Sandy project", downloaded from NOAA's Digital Coast Viewer.
