This is a photo known as an infrared aerial photo that is also considered a very different type of map because it is able to show the land in a way that provides different coloring through the natural changes in the landscape. This map is one taken from the natural preserve on Grover Island and it is really important and useful because they kinds of maps and photos are usually taken from the air, allowing a somewhat larger section to be photographed, in order to have a bigger frame of reference, and to have this large area mapped in less time than it would to walk through and map it by foot. Finally, the colors of infrared aerial photos are able to portray the sharp natural boundaries among the land as well as provide useful geographical features.
