A modern illustration of each state's landscape uses 3DEP data to showcase subtle beauty in their elevation differences like never before. Every state has been consistently adjusted and colorized using the seamless 3DEP 1/3rd arc-second data according to its highest and lowest elevations, which helps accentuate differences even in states with low relief.
