Territorial Mapping in the DRC

Overview

The goal is to remap every territory in the world. This however is just the begining. The goal? To create topographical maps of selected territories in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The project focuses on making visual the different elevations across the places such as the province of Equateur, Maniema, Haut-Katanga, Kongo-Central, North-Kivu, and Tshopo. I just wanted to use my skills and have a little bit fun.

There we go 👇

Data Sources

  • Elevation Data: SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) data for elevation.
  • Geographic Boundaries: DRC administrative boundaries from [ReliefWeb].

Workflow Process

1. Data Loading

2. Clipping

3. Hillshade

4. Styling

5. Layer Blending

Blend the hillshade with the elevation layer to create visual depth and better terrain visualization.

6. Map Layout

Design the complete map layout including:

  • Map title
  • Legend
  • Scale bar
  • North arrow
  • Inset locator map
  • Credits and data sources

7. Exporting

Export the final maps as high-resolution PNG or JPEG files.

git clone https://github.com/marcelinmurhula/DRC-GIS-Topography.git
