Northwestern States 1970 Shaded Relief Map

I JUST LOVE IT!

I brought map to a local framing company. Requested they tear the edges and "float" it above matting before picking a nature wood frame. It came out AMAZING! I have it (right where you can see it) hanging in my dining room for all to look at. THANK YOU! P.S. They were very impressed with the quality of the map! It was a nice heavy duty map.

My favorite new map!

Just as detailed and high-quality as I had heard about from my friend who had recently purchased a similar map in Utah. My favorite piece on my walls alongside my college diploma. A great focus point for the gaze when thinking, and showcases my favorite region of the world to guests. "Maps as Art," as a concept, is well proven out by this brand and I highly recommend them. Mine came in a cardboard box that at first appeared ordinary, but proved to be so well packed that I've saved the original and use it to store the map when moving to a new home or during extended cleaning up.

Excellent shading

It looks like a 3D relief map. How do you do that?
