Explore the topography of the Idaho 1959 Geological Map of the state in stunning 3D Raised Relief, an original creation from Muir Way. This unique 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 Sawtooth Mountain Range to the depths of Hells Canyon as the Snake River runs through it.

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 3D 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.
Do you offer different sizes for the 3D maps?

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 materials are the 3D maps made from?

The maps are printed on a thick, highly formable plastic that is highly formable under extreme heat and mounted on foamboard.
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 info@muir-way.com 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 for the 3D maps 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.

A reminder of being there !

I have had the good fortune to go to Idaho with a friend on 2 separate occasions. I wanted to give him a gift that would remind him of our time there and of the beautiful topography of the landscape. When I saw this 3 dimensional map, it was the perfect reminder of the phenomenal variations that exist in the State. Needless to say, he loved the gift and I am tempted to purchase another one for myself. Seeing it is a reminder of Idaho's breathtaking beauty.

Map looks great

We gave this map as a Christmas present to our son, who is an Idaho based consulting geologist. He loved it and is planning on putting it up on a wall in his office. Thank you.
