Downloadable GIS Topographic Map
The last Bahamian Lands and Surveys topographic map of San Salvador was published in
1972. It is no longer in print and it is quite dated. As part of the San Salvador Island
GIS project, we undertook a partial revision of the topographic map (shown here). It is
based on data from the San Salvador Island GIS Database and is available FREE for
download.
Before downloading this map you MUST agree that 1) it not be sold under any
circumstances, 2) it be referenced appropriately when used in publications,
digital media, or any other form of public display, and 3) the citation information
in the lower right hand corner be left intact on the downloaded image or on
any copies made from it.
Downloadable copies of this map are available in PDF and JPG format. To view
the PDF version you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat. If you do not have this
program you may download a FREE version from Adobe's
website. The JPG version can be viewed with a graphic design software, such
as Adobe Photoshop or Corel Photohouse, or with your internet browser, Internet
Explorer, Netscape, Firefox, etc.
Both of these map formats were designed at the 11 x 17 inch size and should
be printed at that size for best results. You may print a smaller or larger
size if necessary by selecting "Shrink oversized pages to paper size"
or "Expand small pages to paper size" in the print dialog box of Adobe
Acrobat (if viewing the PDF version) or by adjusting the size of the image when
opening it in a graphic design software (if viewing the JPG version). Altering
size may effect legibility. Click on one of the buttons below to download the
appropriate map version.
