Abstract:

Land Elevation Polygons. The land elevations polygons layer is a set of vector polygons delineating land elevation ranges of the world at 1:1,000,000 scale. It was created by forming polygons from selected land elevation contour lines.

Purpose:

To provide users with a set of essential basemap features for use as a stand-alone map or putting other tabular or geospatial data in a larger spatial context.
