Maps from a New EPA Study on Sea Level Rise and the Mid-Atlantic Coast

Elevation maps of entire states

A multi-year project by the US Environmental Protection Agency (Titus and Wang 2008) created maps to illustrate vulnerability to sea level rise, using existing data.  A draft report on sea level rise by the US Climate Change Research Program used the EPA data set to create multi-county maps, which we post here. The maps show elevations relative to spring high water, the average tide during new and full moons. The accuracy of the data varies, so we have also included an index map showing the data sources.

These maps are in jpg files designed for printing at 300 dots per inch on 8-1/2 X 11 inch paper. If you simply click on the links below and try to read them on your computer screen, some of them may look strange, depending on your internet browser. If so, please save the jpg map onto your computer's hard drive and then open the file with the program you normally use to read jpg files.
