Summary

This layer contains physical regions around the world. This polygon file is intended for muli-scale thematic mapping and analysis.

Description

            

The spatial data were obtained from Natural Earth. The points of interest were primarily derived from Patterson's Physical Map of the World . Attributes were modified to include scalerank, type, name, region, and subregion. The coordinate system of this data is WGS 1984.

"The boundaries of physical regions should be taken with a grain of salt. They are roughly accurate to 50m scale, although the number of features included is to the 10m scale." - Natural Earth
