Cyprus was given this name due to its ancient fame for copper, which was abundantly mined on its lands. The English word Cyprus is derived from the Greek name for the island, Kypros, which means cuprum in Latin.

I chose to represent it in LEGO, It is a distinctive way of representing isolated lands (preferably islands of varying heights).

I have always believed that it is my responsibility as a person who studies the science of cartography that it is not just a #30daymapchallenge, but rather the situation is greater than that duration .. What you see now is the result of many processing stages and converstion that have taken place to the data .. You are create your own data to serve the idea you want to present

1- Export DEM as a display extend

2- Extract raster by mask

4- Block Statistics

3- Convert raster to ASCII

4- Convert ASCII to raster (return intger values)

5- Raster to polygon

6- Feature to point

..

7- Grid index features of Sea layer ( width & height = width value of Block Statistics)

8- Clip 5 from 7

9- Snap

10- merge index features that areas are less than the block statistics

11- Polygon to raster

12- Feature to point

13- Extract multi values to point

..

There are some creative things that are a must :-

- Symbol as a unique values

- The ability to create a creative colors gradation

- Add symbol level to layers

- Add shadow

- Add points layer and edit their symbol proberties 

- Add some of map elements and edit their symbol proberties 

Note: did you know that how i represented the north arrow as a lego ?! it's just a creativity
