Raised Relief Maps

Raised Relief Maps. Raised Relief Maps present a dramatic visual and tactile representation of a desired geographical area. Sometimes referred to as three dimensional maps, most incorporate shaded relief to enhance topographic diversity. States, continents and countries, USGS sectionals and special areas such as National Parks, indeed the world can be displayed in all its impressive natural detail.

Here is a typical USGS raised relief sectional map covering the same geography at the USGS 1:250000 scale topographic maps. In fact, these sectionals ARE the USGS 1:250000 series maps printed/draped over the raised relief plastic substrate. The roads on the raised relief maps are often out of date and the reason is that USGS does not often update their maps. The point is that you are buying these maps for the topography, not road navigation.
