NCED is currently involved in researching the effectiveness of anaglyph maps in the classroom and are working with educators and scientists to interpret various Earth-surface processes. Based on the findings of the research, various activities and interpretive information will be developed and available for educators to use in their classrooms. Keep checking back with this website because activities and maps are always being updated. We believe that anaglyph maps are an important tool in helping students see the world and are working to further develop materials and activities to support educators in their use of the maps.

This website has various 3-D maps and supporting materials that are available for download. Maps can be printed, viewed on computer monitors, or projected on to screens for larger audiences. Keep an eye on our website for more maps, activities and new information. Let us know how you use anaglyph maps in your classroom. Email any ideas or activities you have to ncedmaps@umn.edu

Anaglyph paper maps are a cost effective offshoot of the GeoWall Project. Geowall is a high end visualization tool developed for use in the University of Minnesota's Geology and Geophysics Department. Because of its effectiveness it has been expanded to 300 institutions across the United States. GeoWall projects 3-D images and allows students to see 3-D representations but is limited because of the technology. Paper maps are a cost effective solution that allows anaglyph technology to be used in classroom and field-based applications.

Maps are best when viewed with RED/CYAN anaglyph glasses!

A note on downloading: "viewable" maps are .jpg files; "high-quality downloads" are .tif files. While it is possible to view the latter in a web-browser in most cases, the download may be slow. As an alternative, try right-clicking on the link to the high-quality download and choosing "save" from the pop-up menu that results. Save the file to your own machine, then try opening the saved copy. This may be faster than clicking directly on the link to open it in the browser.

Circulator routes and local transportation options within Washington County, MN.Twin Cities Metro Transit route data provided by Metropolitan Council.This map is used by the Transportation Finder application

Fugro Horizons Inc. acquired highly accurate Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) elevation data for the Twin Cities metropolitan region in east-central Minnesota in Spring and Fall 2011, with some reflights in Spring 2012. The data cover Anoka, Benton, Carver, Dakota, Goodhue, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne and Washington counties.

Most of the data was collected at 1.5 points/square meter. Smaller areas were collected with 2 points/square meter and with 8 points/square meter:
1. 1.5 points/square meter covers Morrison, Mille Lacs, Benton, Isanti, Sherburne, Anoka, Meeker, Hennepin, Washington, Carver, Scott, and Goodhue counties.
2. 2 points/square meter covers the Dakota Block (southern 2/3 of Dakota County)
3. 8 points/square meter covers portions of Minneapolis/St. Paul and the City of Maple Grove
See map of block boundaries: https://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/chouse/elevation/metro_data_delivery_dates.pdf

Data are in the UTM Zone 15 coordinate system, NAD83 (HARN), NAVD88 Geoid09, meters. The tiling scheme is 16th USGS 1:24,000 quadrangle tiles.

The vendor delivered the data to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in several formats:

1. One-meter digital elevation model
2. Edge-of-water breaklines
3. Classified LAS formatted point cloud data

DNR staff quality-checked the data and created three additional products: two-foot contours, building outlines and hillshades.

This metadata record was created at the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office using information supplied by the vendor and by DNR.

Layered GeoPDF 7.5 Minute Quadrangle Map. Layers of geospatial data include orthoimagery, roads, grids, geographic names, elevation contours, hydrography, and other selected map features.

This layer defines the district boundaries for the Metropolitan Council members.

NOTES:
- The Metropolitan Council Districts were enacted on May 19, 2023, using plan MC2023-2.
- Council member names and spellings are taken directly from the Metropolitan Council web site and press releases.
- Hanover, New Prague, Northfield, and Rockford have been removed from the district boundaries.
- Cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Edina, Maplewood and Woodbury have populations split into more than one Council District.
- The actual descriptions of Metropolitan Council District boundaries were taken from Minnesota Statutes 2022, 473.123 http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/473/123.html
- The 2023 plan files, details and components passed by the 2023 MN Legislature can be found at https://www.gis.lcc.mn.gov/redist2020/MetCouncil/mc2023_2/.
- For the map and data available from the Metropolitan Council, district boundaries were adjusted to conform to existing geography employed by the Metropolitan Council.
- Adjustments for district boundaries that fall on city/township boundaries are updated on a quarterly basis with data from counties.
- Met Council Districts are defined every 10 years.

This web map shows the member and non-member communities that make up the LAPC planning area.Because we have an urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000, we are required by federal transportation law to have a metropolitan planning organization (MPO). The La Crosse Area Planning Committee (LAPC) is the MPO. We are also a bi-state MPO because our urbanized area includes parts of Minnesota.The LAPC is supported by member communities, which tend to be those that have or are developing urban areas. The current membership of our Policy Board includes the towns of Campbell, Holland, Medary, Onalaska, and Shelby; the villages of Holmen and West Salem; and the cities of La Crescent (MN), La Crosse, and Onalaska. Additional non-member communities in the planning area include the towns of Barre, Greenfield, Hamilton, La Crescent (MN), and Dresbach (MN) and are rural in nature. We also gained the tiniest bit of the town of Bergen after the 2010 Census when the urbanized area was extended down CTH K in Vernon County.

This map shows the solar irradiance and photovoltaics of the rooftops that are 17,000 square feet or larger. The study area was the entire city of Duluth, MN, by using rooftop data from the city municipality, and DEM from MNTopo solar irradiance could be calculated for the study areas. This solar irradiation map was created for the use of solar panel installation on the tops of large buildings to power the neighborhoods in the city of Duluth. Within this study area, buildings can be selected and the annual solar photovoltaics can be displayed.
