ASIS_GeomorphologicalMap_2012

The Assateague Island geomorphological map is the spatial portrayal of the evolution of the barrier island system that developed from a series of several discrete ancestral units through its consolidation into a continuous barrier. It has topographical features that show a series of accretionary ridges and swales that record inlet creation and closure. The Assateague Island geomorphological map consists of 16 panels, covering the island from Ocean City Inlet to the Maryland-Virginia border. One set of panels portrays the distribution of geomorphological features without hillshade and the other incorporates hillshade in its depiction.
