Description

Experience the beauty and complexity of the United States geological landscape with our exquisite 1932 USA Geological Map. This vintage map has been expertly updated using modern elevation data to create a captivating 3D illusion that will transport you to the heart of the country's natural wonders.

To create this one-of-a-kind map, we digitally combined four separate vintage maps of the United States. The result is an intricate and detailed map that showcases every nook and cranny of the country's varied terrain.

The stunning shading and depth on this map are not a result of the map protruding from the surface. Rather, it is all expertly printed on the paper itself which means it is ready to be framed and displayed in your home or office.

Please Note: Text on this map can be difficult to read due to the small font size and the age of the map. In areas where the relief shading covers the text, the underlying text is not legible. We suggest the largest size map for better details, though the text may still be covered in the darker areas.

We offer the four individual regional maps of the USA here:
Northeast 1932 Relief Map
Southeast 1932 Relief Map
Northwest 1932 Relief Map
Southwest 1932 Relief Map

Great map!!

Some of the smaller print is hard to read, even at 56 x 32, but the map has tremendous detail and color. Exceeded expectations.

The Big One

This 56x32 version is everything i hoped for. It doesn't come framed because it's too large. So I took it to a local framing shop and it came out Amazing. A great piece for my living room. Everyone that see's it is blown away.

Love this map!

I've always enjoyed a good map and this one is awesome! The vibrant color, shading and "texture" of the print make it stand out as if it was three dimensional. The vintage look of the paper and text, mounted inside a rustic wood frame will make this the new centerpiece of my office.

One thing that they do call out in the description and can confirm is the legibility of the text. I ordered the 42x20 and while I think it is a great size, the text is still small. I can't speak to the larger size, but much of the text isn't readable at 42x20 unless you have your nose up to the print.

Aside from that, which isn't really the point of this piece, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this map to anyone.
