Maps
Southcentral Alaska Topographic Map
This topographic map covers the entire Kenai Peninsula, and goes north to Talkeetna, East to Cordova, and West to Skwetna. This project is 3’x3′, so I cut it at the Anchorage Makerspace, which has a larger laser cutter that’s capable of cutting something this size.

Kachemak Bay (Homer) Alaska, Bathymetry Map
This project was created using the Kachemak Bay, Alaska 1/3 arc-second MHW Coastal Digital Elevation Model dataset from NOAA’s National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) for bathymetry, and The National Map’s Alaska 100 Meter Resolution Albers Projection dataset for elevation.
Tolovana Hot Springs (Fairbanks Alaska) Topographic Map
Tolovana Hot Springs are located in the Alaskan interior wilderness, and accessible by a 10 mile trail from the Elliot Highway. Topography came from The National Map DEM and trail data came from GPS data collected on a recent trip to the hot springs.
