A fully three-dimensional view of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Asheville, portions of Pisgah, Nantahala & Cherokee National Forests, and the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor. The map shows actual elevation changes through ridges, river valleys, and the rising terrain toward the Great Smoky Mountains, all in tactile form you can feel with your hands.
Production happens in house. A technical artist heat-treats 2mm rigid vinyl and vacuum-forms each sheet over a custom Knoxville mold, giving every map a real, scaled topographic surface.
Key details:
- Coverage: about 100 miles east to west, 70 miles north to south
- Source: USGS topographic data, V501P series, Model NI 17-1
- Projection: Transverse Mercator, Grid 17
- Material: 2mm rigid vinyl, heat-treated and vacuum-formed
