Summary

[edit]
Description

Scalable map of north region of the U.S. state of New Jersey (northern half) showing terrain features: hills, lakes, rivers, roads and major towns, in quick photographic format (JPEG) to highlight terrain features. The Atlantic Ocean, Delaware River, and nearby states are labeled; the Interstate icons are enlarged 60%; and major cities are bolded 20%-40% for readability when scaled to 310px display width. The distance scale is shown in miles/kilometers, and labels appear 5x times larger than original in the US National Atlas, at similar display width.

Format: Quick JPEG format for photographic quality, extracted/reduced from National-Atlas file of PNG format, 260x times more massive. Names have been enlarged for readability when map is resized smaller. Original map was huge: the original PNG file might crash browsers with many open windows.

This file is being maintained in JPEG format to enable photographic quality of background terrain. Although maps containing text are often converted to massive PNG files, this map contains too much terrain detail: hundreds of hills and over 20 rivers (New Jersey).
