US Elevation Map in Shaded Relief - Detailed, Colorful Topographic Map Art

36x24” Elevation Map of the United States About the Map: The GeoJango Elevation Shaded Relief Map of the USA beautifully illustrates the diverse landscapes of the United States in three exclusive color variations. Explore the richly detailed peaks of the west, sloping gradually into the great plains to the glacial valleys of the midwest contrasted with the alluvial plains of the Mississippi in the south, finally meeting the rolling peaks of the Appalachians into the east coast. Intricately modeled with lighting and shadows that reveal details only a local would have been able to appreciate in the smallest hills and valleys. Geographical Data: Our topographic elevation US map was developed using data from the NASA ASTER remote sensing mission. The data was projected in professional GIS software for an accurate model, and then artistically exaggerated and interpreted to bring out details and contrast. Elevation is graded in beautiful color options in the final map. Additionally we artistically render shaded relief to light the land as we see it in nature with natural shadows and highlights. This final aspect provides incredible detail, wherein you can be mesmerized by the complexities of America's vast and varied landscapes. Framed Size: 36 x 24 inches will total 38 x 26 inches with our black frame Product Format: This is a flat map with rich terrain depth to visualize the landscape.
