Nepal Maps

These maps were created from GIS layers produced by Kabindra Joshi, Cartography and Survey Engineering Consultant, Kathmandu, Nepal. Ken Bauer and Travis Durfee at the Digital Himalaya project used ArcMap to parse out Nepal's 75 districts. For each district, separate layers (Rivers, Settlements, Elevation, and Roads) were geoprocessed using standard GIS procedures (clipping). A separate layer was then created for every combination of these layers.
