As seen in the map above this shows a land cover map in Yellowstone being overlaid over a elevation map with the land cover map having its transparency being altered to around 50 percent so, that you can view the elevation map from underneath the land cover map. For these I went with a standard color panel for the land cover map which went from dark green to yellow to brown to a white for the land cover portion. This can be easily viewed and making out all the features is quite easy. The elevation portion is being detailed with a light blue ranging to a dark blue. This blends very well with the landcover map and even helps with the greener areas turning it into a bit of a teal coloring. This allows us to tell the elevation ranges with the tree ranges being blended in with them. After choosing the color maps I went for a standard landscape view map design with the map on the left and legend/north arrow on the right. This helped with this style map for better interpretation and brought a more concise look to the map. Adding the final background color to help hone in on the map portion better rather than having tons of empty space and the land cover map for Yellowstone was complete.
