Terrain Map

Northern Italy, 50 miles Northwest of Milan. View is about five or six miles across.

I was looking at a dam right by the 'e' at the end of 'Parco Naturale' at the bottom center-left of this image. The satellite resolution was very poor, so I switched to the terrain view. This view surprised me. In the lower right we have a fairly normal topographic display. The center looks very different. Either the ground is much rougher, or the detail level is much higher. And then over to the right, we have two colors, gray and green, not just green. Father out it goes all gray. Kind of odd to see such a jumble of textures in one view.
