Great Smoky Mountains National Park Raised Relief Map by Hubbard Scientific

Price range: $59.99 through $249.99

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

Great Smoky Mountains National Park Raised Relief Map by Hubbard Scientific

This 3D raised relief map of Great Smoky Mountains National Park lets you see and feel the rugged terrain of America’s most visited national park. Every ridge, valley, and peak along the North Carolina-Tennessee border is molded into high-grade rigid vinyl using a heat-treated vacuum-forming process. The result is a tactile topographic map that doubles as wall art.

Map Shop manufactures each relief map by hand. A technical artist registers the printed vinyl over a custom terrain mold, shaping real elevation data into a physical surface you can run your fingers across. Clingmans Dome, the Appalachian Trail corridor, and the layered ridgelines of the Southern Appalachian Mountains all come through in accurate dimensional detail.

Hang it unframed or choose from black or walnut molding with pre-installed hardware. No glass is included, so the 3D surface stays touchable. This Great Smoky Mountains map works in a living room, office, cabin, or classroom. It is equal parts functional reference, sculptural decor, and conversation starter.

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.
