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 1955 Great Lakes map. 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.

This is a great map

I'm very happy with this map. The quality, like other things I've purchased from Muir Way, is excellent. I have fluorescent lights in my office, and the map is just a touch more on the yellow side than the brown/sepia tone side under those lights than I was expecting based on the online images, but it still looks great.

Beautiful map, nicely framed.

Excellent deep framing accentuates the shaded relief map. Was well worth the price. Highly recommend to anyone else living near the beautiful Great Lakes.
