Abstract
Discloses a method and design for map based visualization and presentation of geographic features, terrain and property characteristics. A list of terrain attributes or group of properties are listed in one display area and a corresponding map with symbolized and coordinated property is displayed in a second display area. A property of interest is provided with a property box graphic on the map with the property box containing selected characteristics of the property and anchored at the location of the property. A three-dimensional (3-D) property characteristics model is disclosed which provides a visualization of selected property characteristics. The 3-D model supports visual analysis and comparison of a characteristic of a property to its neighboring properties. The 3-D visualization and analysis model may also be used to evaluate the proximity of a property to a natural hazard.
