Colorado River 1858 Shaded Relief Map

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 5 reviews
$ 79.00 USD
Fine Art Paper – Flat 2D Print
Frame
Description

We created this map with the illusion of 3D by applying Digital Elevation Data and meticulously adding shaded relief to the landscape of the original 1858 Colorado River map featuring the Grand Canyon. The shading is printed on the paper and not a result of the map protruding from the surface.

Please Note: Text on the 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.

Very high quality print and paper

The print is very high resolution with no blurring even in the smallest details. The paper is thick and high quality. What you see is exactly what you get. The print is perfect.
