Maps and Wall Art
Whether you live in Massachusetts, like to visit with family, or if the Bay State and its beautiful coastline, rich history, and ample trails and parks hold a special place in your heart, our custom printed maps of Massachusetts will bring a touch of New England to any home or office. From our eye-catching elevation maps to the vintage charm of our restored historical maps, every Massachusetts map we create reflects the high quality and attention to detail our customers have come to love and expect from Muir Way.
What makes Muir Way maps of Massachusetts unique?
When you purchase a Massachusetts wall map from Muir Way, you are purchasing a work of art, not a glossy rolled up poster. In addition to custom printing every Massachusetts map using archival inks and fine art paper, our maps feature hand-crafted designs that bring a fresh perspective to the beautiful terrain they feature. Our elevation maps apply hand-shaded relief to USGS Digital Elevation Data for a stunning 3D effect on a flat surface, and our hydrological maps are so detailed you can see every river in the state--even intermittent streams--and every body of water over 0.2 miles in diameter. This meticulous craftsmanship mixed with modern technology creates heirloom quality artwork certified to last 100 years.
Can I get my Massachusetts map framed?
Absolutely! Our Massachusetts maps are available for purchase professionally custom-framed with real wood. If you’d like to purchase your Massachusetts artwork framed, you can choose from several different colors and wood finishes to match your décor. If you’d prefer to use your own frame, all of our maps are also available unframed and come in standard frameable sizes for easy gift giving.
Is a Muir Way map of Massachusetts a good gift idea?
Our custom-printed maps make unique gifts for holidays, anniversaries, or as a thank-you gift for someone special. A Massachusetts wall map from Muir Way makes an ideal gift for outdoor enthusiasts in New England, but can also be a perfect graduation gift for a student about to leave home for the first time, or a reminder of home for someone whose home state is Massachusetts but who no longer lives there. Our maps also make touching retirement gifts and memorable corporate gifts for clients and colleagues. We see our thousands of satisfied customer reviews as a testament to the quality we stand by when you purchase one of our maps as a gift.
How should I display my Massachusetts map?
Hang your Massachusetts map at eye level as a focal point in the room to encourage passers-by to get up close and look. If you’re purchasing a relief or elevation map, don’t be surprised if they want to touch it because it looks like it’s jumping right off the page! Designed for effect up close or across the room, our Massachusetts maps work as well in a living room above a fireplace as they do in a corporate office boardroom, home study, or vacation home game room. Available in various colors as well as black and white, you’re sure to find a map of Massachusetts to suit your décor.
What are the different types of maps of Massachusetts available on Muir Way?
Our Massachusetts maps are available in several different styles, including:
Massachusetts relief maps - Our relief maps of Massachusetts combine historical map landscapes with modern technology using Digital Elevation Data and hand-shaded relief together for a three-dimensional effect on a flat surface. Choose from our 1983 Massachusetts relief map, showcasing Massachusetts varied elevation and geological makeup in a beautiful color-coded display, or our beautiful 1975 regional Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island relief map where you can view variegated terrain amidst clearly marked cities, towns and counties.
Massachusetts elevation maps - Our state of Massachusetts elevation map follows a similar handcrafted process as our relief maps, this time creating a high-contrast 3-dimensional effect in stunning black and white. All text and other map elements are removed, showing only the elevation which helps the state to really stand out against a plain white background.
Massachusetts hydrological maps - Our hydrological maps are designed to catch your eye from across a room and to to be enjoyed up close, and are available in multiple colors. Whether following the interconnected trails of water on our Massachusetts hydrological map or our regional New England hydrology map, you’ll be able to view every body of water from Walden Pond to small tributaries. Any body of water greater than 0.2 mi in diameter can be seen on these maps, enhanced further by a process called the Strahler Stream Order to show the hierarchy of streams as they flow from their source. This approach shows rivers thicker as they acquire the flow of tributaries so they’re easier to trace.
Enhanced vintage maps of Massachusetts - If you like vintage maps, you’ll love our regional 1883 vintage map of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, or our beautiful 1939 vintage map of Boston. Unlike our relief maps, our historical maps don’t look three dimensional. Our enhanced vintage maps are reproduction prints of authentic vintage maps, carefully restored to maintain their charm without the wear & tear.
What are some prominent features on the map of Massachusetts?
Our elevation and relief maps of Massachusetts show the Berkshires in full detail. View notable peaks like Mount Greylock and Mount Everett or head east toward sea level to view popular tourist attractions like Martha’s Vineyard and Cape Ann.
Containing the best of both worlds with mountains and the ocean, Massachusetts has no shortage of waterways to trace on our hydrology maps. Follow the Merrimack and Ipswich Rivers in the north or the Charles River through Cambridge and Boston as it flows to the Atlantic Ocean, or look for notable ponds and lakes such as Walden Pond and the Quabbin Reservoir.
No matter which Massachusetts state map you choose, you’ll enjoy an up-close look at a state known for its colonial history, great seafood, and for being a hub of educational and medical innovation.
