North America Shaded Relief Map
The Rockies rise in pale tones, the Mississippi basin settles into deeper greens, and the whole continent reads like a piece of terrain you could run your hand across, even on flat paper. This map from Kappa Map Group uses color gradation instead of contour lines to show elevation, with lighter shades marking higher ground and darker tones settling into lowlands and river valleys.
Beyond the terrain coloring, the map carries a full set of political and physical reference data:
- Elevation table listed in both meters and feet
- National boundaries and national capitals across the continent
- Major cities and named mountain peaks
- Longitude and latitude lines with major reference lines emphasized
- Dual-scale distance scale in miles and kilometers
Map Shop offers it in paper, laminated, foam-mounted, railed, framed, or spring roller finishes for classroom walls, conference rooms, or home decor.
