The Great Smoky Mountains are the most visited national park in the country, drawing more than twice as many visitors each year as any other — and for good reason. This 1978 soil map traces the Tennessee side of that range, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to more documented species than any other U.S. national park, all the way to the state's western plains. Explore that terrain in stunning 3D Raised Relief, an original creation from Muir Way. This unique map undergoes a meticulous process: it is printed, heated, and vacuum-formed over an intricately detailed 3D mold, so you can feel the ridges of the Smokies as well as see them.
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.
