This is a true 3D raised relief map – a superior visual reference.
Arizona Raised Relief Map
Arizona changes elevation faster than almost any other state. The Colorado Plateau sits above 7,000 feet in the north. The Sonoran Desert floor drops under 1,000 feet in the south. This map puts that difference under your hand.
Each map is printed on high-grade rigid vinyl under the Hubbard Scientific brand, then heat-treated and vacuum-formed by Map Shop’s technical artists over a custom Arizona terrain mold. Color and shading run across the molded surface, so the elevation bands separate without anyone reading a legend.
Terrain the relief brings out:
- The Grand Canyon cut into the Colorado Plateau, with the Colorado River running through it
- The Mogollon Rim, the escarpment that splits the plateau from the country below
- The Central Highlands and their ranges through the middle of the state
- Sonoran Desert basin and range country around Phoenix and south toward the border
Available unframed, mounted on foam core, or framed in black or walnut molding, with no glass over the relief.

Raised Relief Finishing Options
Unframed
Maps are printed on 15-mil vinyl and heat-formed over a mold to create the 3D relief effect. All Raised Relief maps ship flat in protective boxes to preserve the 3D details. Please note that these maps are not standard frame sizes, so our custom framing option is often more cost-effective than local framing.
Mounted
Maps are printed on 15-mil vinyl and heat-formed over a mold to create the 3D relief effect. Maps are then affixed with adhesive onto 1/4″-thick foam core. 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. Please note that these maps are not standard frame sizes, so our custom framing option is often more cost-effective than local framing.
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.
