This forest cover type map (used with permission of TatukGIS®) illustrates a common technique in resource management projects defining land uses with polygons stored as vector data.

If you'd like, click the map and link with the Tatuk Internet Map Server to experiment with the data. The map might take a few moments to load. When ready, you can use the "Identify" tool to click on a polygon to see stand data like this sample:

The tool is a simple example of how GIS data can be associated with a map object.

The TatukGIS server offers additional samples combining image and vector data and the opportunity to test object transparency (allowing you to see through map layers).
