The combination of these two data sets creates an amazing new way of viewing the Earth’s topography and landforms. The SRTM elevation data is detailed . . . → Read More: SRTM Enhanced Blue Marble Terrain Map of California Major Land Resource Areas (MLRA) and Land Resource Regions (LRR) are areas of the United States with similar geography (physiography, climate, geology, etc.), as defined by the US Department of Agriculture and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. These areas are used for large scale interstate planning. There are approximately 280 MLRAs in the . . . → Read More: Major Land Resource Areas of the United States
