This raised relief map of Glacier Bay National Park shows amazing 3D detail of the dramatic mountains, glaciers, fjords, bays, and forests. Glacier Bay's dynamic topography is easy to see and understand with the precisely molded 3D shape. Measuring 26" wide and 20" tall, with nearly an inch of vertical relief, this map is a unique and attractive tool for exploring the Glacier Bay area. Park visitors and outdoor enthusiasts will value this map for planning new trips to the park and recalling past ones. It is available both unframed (poster style) and framed (black aluminum, light or dark stained solid oak wood, 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 in three formats: fully framed and ready to hang in a black anodized aluminum frame; mounted on foam-board and ready for you to frame yourself; or unframed, perfect for pinning to a bulletin board.

Please note: If you plan to order a frame-ready map, we recommend you order the frame after you receive the map. This will allow you to choose the frame depth and dimensions that will work best
