Aero Relief Map of Geographical Terms, Manhattan

My office has some magical qualities. It is airy and light, long and dense and the elevator must be one of the slowest in the city. Antonio and Ryan concocted a time-waster involving a metal trunk and a flat soccer ball which can only be described as footiepong. There are an assortment of relief maps scattered throughout the space. This one above, haunts the wall where I often edit. It is simply the best relief map I have yet encountered, and I love relief maps. Among some of the choice geographical terms presented in high-definition three dimensions are: isthmus, bight, piedmont, marsh, distibutory, bayou, bog, irrigated famland, fall line, right bank, left bank, military airfield, butte, mesa, arroyo, gully, escarpment, fiord, cape, cove, sound and strait.
