Inexpensive, even free, printed copies of images and image maps provide Earth Science, Geology, and Remote Sensing teachers with an alternative to expensive photoproducts for classroom and student use. Printed images and image maps are available free, or at costs ranging from $3 to $20. In addition to urban and agricultural features, images and image maps in the author's collection display features suitable for teaching a variety of topics. Examples are: 1) linear features (lineaments) for structural mapping (i.e. San Francisco, Grand Canyon, Medicine Bow River, Southern New England Mosaic, The Adirondacks Mosaic); 2) coastal erosion and deposition; 3) formation and outcrop mapping (Dry Rock Cheyene River, Medicine Bow River, Grand Canyon); 4) glaciers and sea ice; and 5) volcanic features. Almost all image maps show fluvial and lacustrine features. Printed images and image maps may be ordered from many sources: USGS Map Distribution Centers; the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Grand Canyon National Park, and The World Bank map outlet. Free maps and printed images are often distributed by exhibitors at remote sensing conferences.
