San Francisco/Tahoe Aerochart Three Dimensional 3D Raised Relief Map

• Horizontal Scale: 1:500,000 (1" = 7.9 miles)
• Size: 30" x 20"
  

This 3D FAA Sectional aeronautical wall chart covers the central California area from San Francisco to Reno/Lake Tahoe, and includes Yosemite and Mammoth. The precisely molded 3D shape allows pilots to see and feel the terrain shape and clearly understand how it relates to the airspace and flight. Pilots will value referencing this chart for flight planning, training, and as a general conversation piece, whether hung on a wall of an office, hangar, or home. These 3D AeroCharts are available unframed or 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
