Alternate spelling "view shed"
I intend to add a redirect from "view shed" (two words) to the existing page.
Multiple sources express "viewshed" as two words, "view shed." See examples below.

Update: I made the redirect, and added a link from Anderson Canyon to view shed. KKelvinThompson (talk) 01:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
