Adelaide, South Australia

[superhands]

requesting a topographical map of more particually Adelaide and it's hills. The city it's self would be easy to recreate due to the grid layout of roads,rail and trams.
the succesfull map maker would include the urban sprawl districts of the city and some agricultural land to the east. From "waterloo corner" in the north, Bridgewater in the east, to old Noarlunga in the south and of course to the west, well water.
this is a request to those members of the community who have access to the resources and data to make accurate gradient hills that reflect the true nature of them in real life.

so if any one is up for the challenge of this request, please contribute.

if anyone else would like to see inclusions to this request feel free to leave a reply.

If I could get the DEM data for this [and I've been looking for it since I think it was you who PM'd me a while back on this], I'd be more than happy to do it for you, but so far, haven't found any yet.  But I am on the case

[blade2k5]

Is this what you had in mind bighead99999?

[BigSlark]

That's a great map, blade. I might give it a try when I build out Kettlewood...

I love your work, could I convince you to do New Orleans one of these days? I'm not sure how to reconcile the whole "below sea level" and "20 mile bridge" problems, though.

Cheers,
Kevin

[blade2k5]

Yeah, I could probably do New Orleans after I get the other projects I have going in front of it done

[blade2k5]

  Ok, keep talking   Sure, why not?  What cool landmarks can be found in Adelaide?  I'm afraid my knowledge of Adelaide is somewhat very limited outside of it's location   Here's an    What if you gave me a little history about Adelaide that I can use in the description for upload and the readme   That would be a huge assist

[blade2k5]

I just did a search on Google and came up with what I added to the description for upload   I had figured RL had gotten a hold of you so I thought I'd save you the hassle of putting a little history lesson together for the map.
