"This web page provides map data (physical region boundary locations and defining characteristics, as well as region names and their descriptive data) for Michigan's 91 physiographic regions. The web interface enables the user to zoom around the state and explore these regions at a variety of scales. In addition to the standard backgrounds provided in Google Maps (roads, satellite images and terrain), this web interface supplies the user with a standard 7.5-minute USGS topographic base, made semi-transparent over a 10-m resolution hillshaded DEM." |
