    If you cut out each contour you can actually build a nice topographic map for real!! Same can be do e for underwater lakes but its more difficult to get the data....

    Why doesn't this show water depth? I don't like that it leaves the water blank, do you know of anything like this for lake depths?

    Can you do something like a Boolean intersection of the map with the circle to cut the map perfectly to the circle?

    Draw a selection box with the direct select tool (the White arrow) press delete and everything in the selection will be deleted.

    That's really great, but, for some reason, roads and labels are not appearing for me... The option is selected, but no luck. I'm struggling to find a specific location without these.

    Hey Daniel, It can be a little tricky to see things on the map. I have not really worked with roads and so on. This is also starting to show it's age a bit. I wish I was able to help you out more. If you are willing to learn new programs there is an addone for blender called BlenderGIS: whish is pretty powerful. I might make a video about it at some point.
