| Satellite images are
multicolor or black and white photograph-like maps made from data collected by Earth
resource satellites. They are a diverse group of experimental maps printed in a variety of
scales and sizes, ranging from 1:24,000 for Point Loma, California, to 1:7,500,000 for the
conterminous 48 States. Most satellite image maps are printed to simulate color-infrared photography by combining imagery that was scanned in red, green, and infrared wave lengths of light. On color-infrared imagery, growing crops, grasses, and woodlands usually appear in shade of red; conifer forests in shades of reddish brown; clear water as dark blue or black; turbid water as light blue or gray; and cultural features such as cities and highways as steely blue-gray. |

| Satellite
image maps are available for selected areas in about half of the States and the District
of Columbia and such areas as Antarctica, the Bahamas, and Iceland. They are also
available for the conterminous United States as a National Atlas sheet, and for the entire
States of New Jersey, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, and Utah. Many image maps at 1:250,000 scale have topographic maps printed on the reverse sides. Each map is identified by its latitude and longitude and is given a distinctive name, for example, "Upper Chesapeake Bay". Major water bodies are used for map names when appropriate because they show the greatest contrast and are easily recognized. Image Maps covering standard 1:250,000-scale quadrangle areas carry the same name as the topographic map. |
