Taos, New Mexico

Taos, New Mexico

If you’re a skier or snowboarder, you’re intimately familiar with the real-life contours of your favorite mountain resort. You’ve ridden the slopes and admired the beauty of the terrain. Our TOPO Series map of Taos, New Mexico, turns those memories into art, using USGS data to show the contour lines of the mountains and a dot to represent the resort base. It’s a simple, elegant way to depict the dramatic elevation changes that define a mountain resort. As an art piece, it’s a way to trigger memories—and, perhaps, admire your prowess!

  We consider our maps to be works of art, so we print and frame them accordingly. We offer two choices of print surfaces: fine-art archival paper and stretched canvas.

  Every map is custom printed. We have no inventory. Only when we receive your order do we produce your print on our 12-color giclée printer, using top-quality archival inks that will never fade.

  Fine Art Paper-Map is 13" x 19" on 18" x 24" archival paper that is museum-quality, 100% cotton, acid-free, and certified to last 100 years. This assures sharp details, true colors, and exceptional durability. The additional white border on the archival paper helps with framing and brings the final size to 18" x 24".

  Canvas Gallery Wrap-If you prefer a frameless look, order your map on stretched canvas, which offers a bit more depth and texture. We use archival canvas, gallery-wrapped and varnished, stretched onto a 1.5-inch-thick wood frame.

  Frame- Our thin hardwood frames are handmade from real Maple or Walnut, not pressed wood with veneer. Prints will come mounted with a 2.5 inch mat behind a clear acrylic, with mounting hardware attached to it. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your frame to arrive.

• The TOPO Series of maps show elevation changes in the landscape through contour lines. Each line represents a particular elevation, so you can determine the degree of a slope by how close the lines are to one another (very close lines indicate a steep slope area). The dot on the map represents the base of the ski area. The elevation climbs away from the dot and shows the shape of the ski area from above, as well as the surrounding areas. The elevation and geographic coordinates indicated at the bottom of the map refer to the base of the ski area. The interval distance represents the elevation change between each line.

  The maps are based on US Geological Survey topographic maps which were created in quadrant sections. In other words, the USGS created maps that can be pieced together like a mosaic to create the entire US. Our maps use up to 4 quadrants to form a map of the ski mountain area. If there is a vertical and/or horizontal line on our map, they show where two or more quadrants meet.
