Washington D.C. and Baltimore With Terrain, x 3 Exaggeration

Visualizations by Jesse Allen Released on April 9, 1999

This scene shows Landsat Thematic Mapper data from the shortwave infrared (TM band 5), infrared (TM band 4), and visible green (TM band 2) channels of Baltimore. The Inner Harbor appears in the lower right, with the Patapsco River feeding into the Chesapeake Bay near the bottom. The higher resolution images show roads, including the Baltimore Beltway circling the city.

Washington D.C. with elevation (x 3 exaggeration, 16 Nov 1996). The Potomac River is in the foreground, with the Mall running East to West near the center of the image. The Washington Monument and the shadow it casts can be clearly made out in the higher resolution images.
