Whiskey Island geology and landforms

Map: Whiskey Island geology and landforms.

Island-scale physical-geography baseline for Whiskey Island: generalized Quaternary geology with separate bedrock, landsystem, and critical-dune survey symbols.

Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked

A map plate shows a pale landmass surrounded by blue water, with a smaller enclosed blue water body near the center. Thin lines mark several boundaries across the land area. A survey-layer legend appears in the upper left, and a horizontal scale bar runs along the bottom.

A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record

Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.

Catalogued as a plate in the Physical Geography Atlas and Atlas plates collection. The record describes generalized Quaternary geology with separate bedrock, landsystem, and critical-dune survey symbols. The drawing is credited to the archive's own data, with underlying data from OpenStreetMap, Michigan Geological Survey, and USGS 3DEP.

Could not make out

Stated rather than guessed at.

Small source and credit text along the bottom edge is not fully legible. The units for the scale bar are not visible.
