This paper serves two purposes. The first is to make available to the
geomorphological community the first in a short series of up-to-date d
igital maps of 'classic' coastal landforms of the U.K. - Hurst Castle
Spit. The second is to demonstrate that conventional surveying techniq
ues and readily available graphics software on a PC or Mackintosh will
provide an entry into digital mapping for geomorphological applicatio
ns. Comments are included on how the digital map may be utilized.
