Real 3D Raised Relief Map
A Muir Way original, our 3D Raised Relief Map ofĀ California shows with intricateĀ detail the topography of the state. Formed by heating highly formable plastic over a 3D mold, you can see and feel the terrain of the state from theĀ Sierra Mountains to the Channel Islands. Using cutting-edge techniques, weĀ believe our 3D plastic raised relief maps are by far, the highest quality and most finely detailedĀ of their kind ever created.
Simplicity at its finest, the map is completely white with no print or text on it to enhance the visibility of the complex terrain.Ā It is best observed near a light or window to increase the shadows. The angle and brightness of the light will determine the intensity of shadows produced on the map.
Framed maps do not have glass or acrylic over them so you can touch the map and explore its intricacies.Ā Ā

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.
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.
The maps are printed on a thick, highly formable plastic that is highly formable under extreme heat and mounted on foamboard.
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.
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.
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.
Ours are inspired by those older raised relief maps but our new versions are on another level of quality, precision, and craftsmanship.
