-          Figure 5-1.  The “viewshed” of the road network forms a variable-width, line-of-sight buffer.

-          Figure 5-2.  A “visual exposure” map identifies the number of times each map location is visually connected to an extended map feature.

-          Figure 5-3.  A “noise buffer” considers distance as well as line-of-sight connectivity.

-          Figure 5-4.  Viewshed of all surface water locations.

-          Figure 5-5.  Example calculations for determining visual connectivity.

-          Figure 5-6.  Introducing visual screens that block line-of-sight connections.
