United States Natural Raised Relief

Customer reviews

Price range: $39.99 through $314.99

This is a true 3D raised relief map – a superior visual reference.

United States Classic Raised Relief Map

Natural color cartography makes the map look like the ground. Lowland, upland, and arid country separate by color the way they would from an aircraft window, and the molded relief underneath supplies the height.

Each print is produced on rigid vinyl, then heat-treated and vacuum-formed over the custom United States mold by hand.

  • 3D raised relief map of the United States
  • Terrain-first color treatment rather than political emphasis
  • The Rocky Mountain and Appalachian systems both stand in real relief
  • The Great Basin, the Great Plains, and the coastal plains read as distinct ground types
  • Suits earth science classrooms and home offices

This is the version to choose when the terrain matters more than the state lines.

Mandy B. Verified purchase

The map is absolutely great. My experience working with The Map Shop was fantastic. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and the map arrived in good condition (There was a slight dent on one side but once I framed it, it popped right back into place and looks perfect). I had originally planned to hang it high on a large wall, but my kids and I have enjoyed looking at it, touching all the raised elevations, and talking about which mountains we’ve visited (and which ones we want to visit next) so much that I decided to hang it right at eye level instead. That way, anyone who enters our home can see it close up and interact with it right away.

The Map Shop is the largest manufacturer of 3D raised relief maps, under the Hubbard Scientific brand. Click here to learn more about the history of Hubbard Scientific, which spans over 60 years. We begin with a flat map printed on sturdy vinyl. A corresponding custom terrain model mold is carved, using digital elevation data. The vinyl map is carefully registered on the terrain mold, then heated and vacuum-formed over the terrain model. The result is a truly exceptional visual and tactile reference. You will be proud to display one of these raised relief maps in any setting.

Mounting offers additional protection by keeping the map flat and rigid. All Raised Relief maps ship flat in protective boxes to preserve the 3D details.

Framed

Maps are printed on 15-mil vinyl and heat-formed over a mold to create the 3D relief effect. We then mount the map into recycled wood molding with pre-installed hanging hardware, so it arrives ready to hang. Glass is not included, allowing you to touch and feel the relief. Please avoid direct sunlight, as extreme heat can cause the dimensional features to flatten over time. Smaller maps are framed with 1.25"-wide molding and larger maps over 36" x 24" are framed with 2"-wide molding.
