Has anyone done these? I do not have a ton of design knowledge, just the basics but I really want to make these maps. Is there a place to create these types of files? I have PDF’s I found on the State of Michigan website but that obviously isn’t a cut file - any helpful hints???

My first try at a bathymetric map is in this post:

Use the search function using the term bathymetric (for water depth maps) and topographic (for land elevation maps).
We look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Did a quick google search and added SVG and got this link. Looks kind of cool.
