• View the GeoJSON files at geojson.io

Metadata

Metadata for each mountain can be parsed from the properties field.

field	description	required
name	Name of the mountain	required
elev	Height in meters	required
prom	Topographic prominence in meters	optional
coord	Formatted coordinates	required
is_volc	If the mountain is a volcano or not	optional
prov	One or more provinces where the mountain is located	required
region	One or more regions where the mountain is located	required
isl_grp	Island group where the mountain is located	required
alt_names	Alternative names or spelling	optional

Style metadata

Metadata for styling GeoJSON data, see simplestyle-spec.

field	value
marker-color	#259346
marker-symbol	mountain
marker-size	depends on elevation

For marker-size values can either be small, medium, or large based on the mountain's elevation, refer to the following table:

elevation	marker-size
<= 500m	small
> 500m && < 1500m	medium
>=1500m	large
