Explore the stunning topography of Oregon on the 1991 Geological Map of the state in 3D Raised Relief, an original creation from Muir Way. This historical 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 diverse terrain of the state, from the coastal ranges to Mount Hood and Crater Lake.

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 warped lines and text around higher elevations. The fine print on plastic is not as sharp as on paper, sometimes rendering very small text illegible.

FAQ

Are these maps old or new?

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.
Can I get it in a different size?

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.
What are they made out of?

The maps are printed on a thick plastic that is highly formable under extreme heat.
What is your return policy?

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 [email protected] for return authorization.
How long does it take to get?

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.
Do the frames have glass?

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.
Are these like the ones in my classroom when I was a kid?

Ours are inspired by those older raised relief maps but our new versions are on another level of quality, precision, and craftsmanship.

Hands off !

To date everyone who has seen it gives in to the need to feel it up ... that would be not good ! Will quickly show contact from skin oil .

I feel a bit more secure in where home is , clear to see I'm east of two range lines that look like rain shadows ... so in fact we're semi-desert , reducing atmospheric river flooding .

Great how places you really want to go look at " jump out "

Oregon Relief Map

Great map. Good way to explain the different terrain in OR to visitors. I do need a color key for the geology categories. Is there one available?
