Nevada Wall Map (RMI)
Although Nevada is known for being the home of Las Vegas, it also has grassy valleys, rugged, snow-covered mountains, alkalai flats, and open sandy deserts. The beautiful glacial Lake Tahoe lies on the California border, and over 150 mountain ranges dominate the rest of the state.
All of Raven Maps & Images’s state wall maps display an incredible amount of detail, from cities, highways, and mountain ranges, to valleys, rivers, and small towns. Elevations are represented by color, and this, in combination with their relief shading technique, gives the map a lush, 3-dimensional look.
Maps must be accurate, but they should also be beautiful. Raven Maps & Images' state maps are prepared using base materials originally produced by the U.S. Geological Survey for their definitive 1:250,000-scale series. These extremely detailed bases identify thousands of features, such as even minor lakes and streams ignored by most maps. Raven Maps & Images brings the U.S.G.S. materials up to date with current roads and reservoirs. They then go far beyond the originals by adding color tints to depict elevation. The colors progress from greens at lower elevations, through yellows and browns, to grey and finally white at the highest altitudes in the mountainous states. This sequence of color steps replaces the abstraction of contour lines with a graphic picture of elevation-- and, in combination with the relief shading, of the entire landform.
This map is also available with gloss lamination and gloss lamination ready-to-hang. Mounting and framing are also available upon request.
