Matienzo area maps and photos

Google Map
The Google Map displays site entrances superimposed on satellite photos - now cloudy for the Matienzo depression. Descriptions for each site can be shown by clicking on the entrance marker. The computer must be connected to the Internet. Google Maps works best in FireFox rather than Internet Explorer. (Programmed by Paul "Footleg" Fretwell.)

Google Earth
The Google Earth section provides a file to download and use in Google Earth. This shows small-scale geology, all the entrances, cave survey lines, cave surveys and also selections of sites, eg all the digs. Descriptions for each site can be shown by clicking on the entrance marker. Hi-res surface photos can also be downloaded and used over the standard (cloudy) Google Earth landscape. The computer must be connected to the Internet and Google Earth installed.

Detailed area map with roads, surface features and contours at 25m intervals. All caves surveyed and with Survex data are shown as pink lines. All site entrances are shown: dots for GPSed entrances and circles for sites that have not been GPSed. Download 10Mb pdf file. (Last update: 2/7/2009)
SIGPAC
SIGPAC Spanish maps and photos. An Internet site allowing access to maps and satellite photos of Spain. The latter are better quality than the standard offering on Google Maps. No cave information is shown but it is perfectly feasible to obtain the grid reference for surface features and, vice versa, see the surface context of entrances and other features with a grid reference. However, Google Earth (above) can now be used with similar hi-res surface photos.
Cave survey lines
All the cave sites with Survex data in the Matienzo area shown on a single Aven 3d file. The file has been produced using Survex 1.1.12 which you must have on your computer to view the file.
Download the latest version of Survex / Aven from here. Loch, the viewer component of the Therion cave survey package can also display 3d files. Loch produces red/cyan stereo pairs of the centre line and passage walls and makes an interesting alternative to Aven. Therion can be downloaded from here.
