Explore the topography of the Pacific Northwest with this stunning 3D Raised Relief, an original creation from Muir Way in collaboration with Natural Atlas.
This Pacific Northwest Regional map features :
Our 3D raised relief map undergoes a meticulous process where it is printed, heated, and vacuum-formed over an intricately detailed 3D mold. The result is a map that allows you to visually and tactically explore the state.
Framed maps do not have glass or acrylic over them, so you can touch the map and explore its intricacies.
PLEASE NOTE
You will love this map if you embrace its anomalies. When the plastic is heated and stretched over the 3D mold, the image may be altered, causing slightly warped lines and text around higher elevations.

Sculpted from a precision 3D mold — real raised terrain, not an embossed print
Every ridge, valley, and peak is actually there. You feel it, not just see it.
Molds cut from NASA elevation data for accurate topography
The same data used to map space missions. Every rise is placed to the foot.
No glass, no acrylic, every map is made to be touched
Run your fingers across the Rockies or trace the Mississippi. The map wants to be touched.
Premium formable material, sculpted over a precision mold and mounted on rigid archival board
Vacuum-formed to hold every ridge and valley, mounted on archival board so it stays flat for decades.
Each map individually made in our San Diego, CA shop
Not printed and boxed at scale. Every relief is hand-formed by our small studio team.
USA-made materials — every purchase supports Sierra Club, Leave No Trace, and Waterkeeper Alliance
Sierra Club, Leave No Trace, and Waterkeeper Alliance protect the places these maps depict.
American hardwood frames — real walnut, no pressed wood, no veneer
Real hardwood grain, not a stained lookalike. Built by local craftsmen to last.
Open-face design with no glazing, so the terrain stays touchable
Nothing between you and the landscape. The frame protects without hiding.
Framing adds about one inch to each dimension
A slim profile that fits your wall, not a bulky box that dominates it.
The original map designs are of historical maps. We use scans of the old maps and georeference them with modern elevation data to align the raised terrain with the map. Then, we cut a detailed mold for the map. The maps get printed, heated, and vacuum formed onto the mold. We remove the newly formed map from the mold, cut it, and mount it onto matboard for a rigid raised relief map. The 3D maps we sell are only available by Muir Way.
No, we offer each map in a single size because they are vacuum formed to a particular 3D mold that takes approximately 40 hours to cut.
The maps are printed on a thick plastic that is highly formable under extreme heat.
For any reason, you can send back the print within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund. The print must be in new condition. We do not accept returns on framed prints. Please email info@muir-way.com for return authorization.
Unframed maps ship out in 1-2 days and framed maps ship out in 2-3 weeks of ordering. Please also allow transit time from our shop in San Diego.
No, our frames do not have glass over the 3D prints so you can touch the protruding terrain. If you prefer glass, your local frame shop can make a deeper frame that will allow for the glass.
Ours are inspired by those older raised relief maps but our new versions are on another level of quality, precision, and craftsmanship.
