World Elevation Points, 1:50 million (2012)

Abstract/Contents

Abstract

This point shapefile depicts areas and point labels of major points of elevation worldwide. Data was derived primarily from the Florida Resources and Environmental Analysis Center's Physical Map of the World. Mountain peaks have been corrected to their true latitude-longitude location based on PeakBagger. These data are represented at 1:50,000,000 scale. This layer is part of the Natural Earth Collection (v.2.0.0).

Purpose

Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset available at 1:10, 1:50 and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software.
