North America Wall Map (RMI)
From the Aleutian Islands to the Lesser Antilles, Raven Maps & Images' North America map is remarkable in its detail. The map displays glaciers, mountain ranges, rivers and lakes, as well as urban areas, important roads, and railroads. 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 available upon request.
