Available in ESRI format at 20-foot cell spacing for county level and 80 foot cell spacing for the statewide level. Hillside shading was created from the elevation data and allows the display of areas of shade. For a more effective map use a transparent elevation grid on top of the hillside shading.

The values are from 0 to 126, with 0 being complete shade. ArcMap 3D analyst can generate this type of file from the elevation grid. The hillside shading is not representative of a valid location for the sun. Light source is northwest to produce an effective view on a computer monitor.
