Cartography
This Page contains maps, sketches and images, including satellite imagery. All print map sizes are given as width x height.
For relevant data produced by others, including organizations and projects, see Section Resources, Page Documents.
Most of the output is available for online browsing and downloading here, and also in Section Resources. The exception to this are internal project documents that are available in the password protected Staff work area.
The output is organized in the following categories:
- Sketches,
- Satellite images, and
- Maps.
Sketches
The sketch maps were made by respondents (and partly facilitated by the interviewer), in connection with administering the questionnaires "Toponymy" and "Resource use", to people utilizing Oum Lelli and Sawana wetlands, in the period June - September 2004 (see Section Methodology).
[Note: to be added.]
Satellite images
These maps are used as basis for several specific maps (see Maps below).
- Chlim wetland. Quickbird satellite image, recorded 30 August 2004. Processed at Centre for GIS and Earth Observation in Arendal, Norway. Satellite image: © Digital Globe Inc 2004. Comment: The total area is 64 km2. The dark area (which shows presence of water) is the center of the wetland. A screendump, where the image to the right is an enlargement (scale 1:2,000) of an area northwest of Chlim where paths are clearly visible, is also included.
