Creating historical relief maps is a niche practice in the intersection of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), cartography and fine arts. This map has been created in order to understand the process of creating vintage/historical relief maps. Historical map of Memphis and surrounding areas is obtained from USGS Topographical Maps portal (https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/) and elevation data is obtained from ESRI's Living Atlas. Next steps for this project are to bring the project into a 3D software to use rayshading to create shadows and print on a fine art quality large format printer. Original resolution of the file is 13200 by 10200 and the size shrunk to a smaller size for the contest.
