Elevation model
Prepare and symbolize a digital elevation model to reveal Brevard County's subtle relief while retaining roads, waterways, boundaries, and recognizable place context.

Brevard County elevation and land cover.Two environmental views of one landscape.
Paired cartographic products showing the county's physical relief and Landsat-derived land-cover classes within a consistent geographic context.

01 / CARTOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS
Elevation and land cover at a useful scale.
The dedicated project page preserves the detail, legends, reference geography, and statewide locator context that cannot be read in a small portfolio tile.
02 / METHODS AND DATA
A consistent workflow for two raster products.
Each map uses the same county boundary, supporting geography, scale information, orientation, and Florida locator to make the products easy to compare and interpret.
Land-cover interpretation
Apply class-based symbology to Landsat-derived land-cover data so developed areas, forests, wetlands, agriculture, water, and other classes remain distinguishable.
Cartographic composition
Combine each analytical raster with a clear legend, scale bar, north arrow, source information, county outline, and statewide locator map.
03 / INTERPRETATION
Clear about what the maps demonstrate.
The elevation map communicates patterns contained in the source DEM; its apparent precision depends on the resolution and accuracy of that dataset.
The land-cover map demonstrates experience working with and interpreting a Landsat-derived classification product. It does not claim that the classes were independently produced from raw Landsat scenes.
04 / PROJECT CONTEXT
Raster analysis presented through deliberate cartographic design.
This project complements the portfolio's thermal, water-quality, UAS, and hazard-vulnerability work with foundational elevation and land-cover products.
