Process_Description:

Used ArcToolBox, GRID to Image command, Colormap None, JFIF Format.

Hillshade GRIDs created by OP using USGS 10 meter DEMs, 2003.

Used the following Arc commands: GRID: OUTGRID = ingrid * 0.3048 {to convert from feet to meters for GRID cells in feet} GRID: OUTGRID = MERGE(ingrid1, ingrid2,...) {to append grids to one islandwide grid} GRID: GRIDCLIP <in_grid> <out_grid> COVER <clip_cover> {to clip the GRID file to remove blank cells} ARC: HILLSHADE <in_grid> <out_grid> 315 45 SHADE <0.3048> {used 0.3048 for GRIDs with cell values in feet}
