Check out this HUGE US geologic map I made

[mercanucaribe]

1600x1200
6912x4608 11.5mb

The numbers are the age sequence. 1 is the youngest. 162 is the oldest.

Edit: The data is from the USGS. I'm just a humble geographer. If you look on the lower right you'll see the link to the source. http://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds11/kb.html

Next I'm going to make an ecoregion map from WWF data!

Yes, the USGS's work! http://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds11/kb.html

All I did was assign colors and some basic reprojection and cartography.

Cartography is one of the uses of GIS. You usually use GIS software to turn datasets into images.
