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 1917 World Hemispheres map. The shading is printed on the paper and not a result of the map protruding from the surface.

Bathymetry - the added terrain under sea level was created with data derived from Sonar imaging. Available with or without Bathymetry data.

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.

Stunning

I am teaching my son geography at home, but I found it was important to have a map to model from before finishing up a hand-drawn one with coordinates. This map is stunning. I added a wood frame to it and it really completes his room.

Absolutely Beautiful

Beautiful map, which I put in my own frame. The only downside is I wish I’d ordered even bigger because I can’t get enough of this map.

Now that I have seen the quality, I’m saving up to get a few others I’ve had my eye on recently.

Gorgeous

I have purchased at least six different maps from Muir way and while each exceeds expectations, this one might take the cake! The colors are vibrant and contrast perfectly! Thank you!

Nicely framed, beautiful map

I bought this piece framed and am very happy with it. I spent over a year looking for a large world map and this was worth the wait. Thanks to @sharonsaysso on Instagram for sharing the Muir Way map she has.
