It models the true terrain shape with accuracy. This map uses satellite imagery along with graphics that identify geophysical features, waterways, and towns. Available unframed perfect for tacking to a bulletin board or a wall or fully mounted, framed, and ready to hang in a home, classroom, or office. Frame choices include anodized black aluminum or solid wood (golden oak, dark oak, or black-painted wood).

How are these three dimensional raised relief maps made?

Each raised relief map starts as a map printed on a flat study sheet of vinyl. It is carefully registered over a 3D model that is made from USGS digital elevation model data. The vinyl is heated to make it pliable and a vacuum is created to form the map over the model. Take a look at the process below.

Framing options

This large map is available fully framed and ready to hang or unframed, perfect for pinning to a bulletin board.
