Description
A Muir Way original, our 3D Raised Relief Map of Washington shows with intricate 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 the Snake River to the Puget Sound and everything in between.
Using cutting-edge techniques, we believe our 3D plastic raised relief maps are by far, the highest quality and most finely detailed 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.
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.

FAQ
Are these 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.
Can I get it in a different size?
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 are they made out of?
The maps are printed on a thick plastic that is highly formable under extreme heat.
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 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.
