Geological Map of the Maltese Islands - Artificial
This WMS API provides geospatial data on artificial (man-made) geology across the main Maltese Islands, published by the Planning Authority Malta. Features are represented as polygons attributed with geomorphological descriptions at a scale of 1:10,000. The artificial geology theme covers areas of anthropogenic materials and workings, such as land altered or created through human activity. The service forms part of a broader geological mapping dataset for the Maltese Islands, accessible via standard WMS GetCapabilities requests for integration into geographic information systems.Data identifying landscape areas (shown as polygons) attributed with geomorphological descriptions. The scale of the data is 1:10 000 scale. Coverage is provided for the main Maltese Islands. The artificial geology theme describes the main areas of man-made (anthropogenic) materials and workings.
