A user of the Wisconsin Geology GIS app made a great suggestion: Differentiate the outcrop symbols by type (rocks, landforms, etc). Most of the outcrop symbols represent bedrock outcrops, but I originally did have some marking the locations of glacial landforms (the moulin kames in western Sheboygan County for example) and other interesting sites as well.
In the future, the X symbols on the GIS map will represent bedrock outcrops only. In case you read this: Thanks for the suggestion, Paul!
I'll be making the LiDAR-based hillshaded landforms "clickable" with popup information. The hillshade effect already does a nice job of highlighting landforms, but I'd like to take it a step further and offer some interpretive information to help people identify them as drumlins, former lake plains, and so forth. I think this will be pretty cool.
Stay tuned!
