| Cell Map Short Definition: A cell map divides an area according to a fixed mountain prominence. Eg: A P3000 cell map of North America. Discussion: Cell maps are popular because all the boundaries are completely defined once you define the threshold. Eg: There is only a single set of possible boundaries for a P500 cell map covering all North America. Usage: The term "cell map" is most commonly used when referring to a diagram where someone has drawn in the boundaries. For example: "The P3000 cell map of North America is easy to draw - just look up the key saddles of the P3000 peaks and trace the rivers". Usefulness: This term is the most concise way of talking about areas. Links: See Cell Maps |
