This unique map undergoes a meticulous process where it is printed, heated, and vacuum-formed over an intricately detailed 3D mold. The result is a map that allows you to visually and tactically explore the diverse terrain of the state, from the Driftless Area in the north to the Shawnee National Forest in the south. Framed maps do not have glass or acrylic over them, so you can touch the map and explore its intricacies.  PLEASE NOTE You will love this map if you embrace its anomalies. When the plastic is heated and stretched over the 3D mold, the image is altered, causing warped lines and text around higher elevations. The fine print on plastic is not as sharp as on paper, sometimes rendering very small text illegible.
