An effective way to enhance the visual appeal of your maps is to combine rasters. By doing so, you can create cartographic effects that can greatly improve the quality of your maps. For instance, you can overlay NOAA’s September-April 2023 cumulative snowfall raster over a Richard Edes Harrison shaded relief map to produce a stunning visual representation of the snowfall in that region. Whether you are a professional cartographer or simply someone who enjoys making maps, experimenting with different raster combinations can help you produce captivating maps that are sure to impress.
