This is a map of the sea floor highlighting the area surrounding the Deep Water Horizon during the spill. The file size may be considerable, but I aimed for high resolution to capture the coastline and create a more comprehensive map. Drilling operations took place at an impressive 5100 feet beneath the surface. Notably, the deepest point on this map lies southeast of the drill site, reaching approximately 6700 feet. Key statistics include: Vertical Amplification Factor: 8.0 (enhancing visual clarity) Total Area (approximate): 6238.2 square kilometers (84.9 km x 73.5 km) Map Coordinates: Lower Left: 28.598° latitude, -89.050° longitude Lower Right: 28.598° latitude, -89.918° longitude Upper Right: 29.262° latitude, -89.918° longitude Upper Left: 29.262° latitude, -89.050° longitude The map's STL comprises about 3.3 million polygons.
