Does anybody know what the light green/darker green demarcation line is on the west slope of Whitney? It passes through Mt. Russell & heads North/South.
I don't think it is the Zone, as I can't see it at Lone Pine Lake. You will need to select "Terrain".
Wagga, I think that's just a 3D shading effect you're referring to. The steep eastern escarpment shows up as darker because the light source used to render the topography is coming from the west. That would explain why it only shows up in terrain view. In some 3D mapping programs you can change the direction of the lighting.
Nope, definitely not the contour shading: its a subtler shading that follows zig-zagging straight line segments both east and west of the crest, very roughly parallel, creating a band roughly between 1 and 3 miles wide. I followed it south to the confluence of Golden Trout Creek and Kern R, and north to Shepherd Pass, where it widens or splits and seems to follow the Kings Kern Divide West and the Crest North. Seems to have something to do with these divides, but does not follow contours
