Wrangell-St Elias National Park Three Dimensional 3D Raised Relief Map

• Scale: 1:711,500 (1" = 11.2 miles)
• Size: 23.5" x 20"
  

This 3D raised relief map is precisely molded into the true shape of the magnificent Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve. The mountains (9 of the 16 tallest in North America), valleys, glaciers and other geo-features are presented in their true and accurate 3D shape. Visitor centers, ranger stations, roads, towns, mountain peaks, boundaries, rivers, and other points of interest are clearly labeled. The 3D format provides a unique way to understand the park and plan or recall adventures there. It makes a beautiful addition to the wall of any Alaskan wilderness/mountaineering enthusiast’s home, office or classroom. 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
