Shaded Relief—Shaded relief becomes visible at data zoom level 6-0
or greater. It simulates the effect of sun shining on terrain features
and casting shadows, providing greater depth perception of the image.
Lighter shades of gray indicate gentle terrain and darker shades
indicate steep terrain. Using shaded relief may slow down the draw
time of the map screen as you pan.
Contours—Contour lines are available at data zoom level 6-0 or
greater. Contour lines show the elevation of the land in feet or meters.
The closer the contour lines, the greater the slope. The distance
between the lines is the contour interval, which is indicated in the
Control Panel (distance units are controlled in the Options dialog box).
Land Cover—Land cover colors are available at all data zoom levels.
Colors indicate vegetation and land cover areas on the map such as
rock and sand, forests, transitional areas, and wetlands.

the map. Grid lines automatically adjust for the data zoom level of
your map.

level 7-0 or greater and include areas such as parks, preserves,
recreational area and public forests.
