This extraordinary map art displays the state of North Carolina in a unique and colorful topographical style like you've never seen before: a combination of a North Carolina reference map, North Carolina physical map, and an artistic North Carolina poster. The sensational topographical image of the map was created by using digital elevation data to produce a 3-D model of North Carolina's terrain. The landscape is then colored according to elevation. The result is a stunning colorful image of North Carolina that is 100% accurate and incredibly detailed - even the smallest hills and valleys are clearly visible. The contrast in landscape across the state of North Carolina between the flat coastal plains in the east and the Blue Ridge Mountains within the Appalachians in the west is really prominent when displayed with this topographic style. The Great Smoky Mountains look especially fascinating in this map. The map, while primarily a visual physical map, also includes the major towns and cities of North Carolina - adding usefulness to the map without cluttering it or detracting from North Carolina's physical beauty. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a piece of map art or a North Carolina reference map, this North Carolina map poster fits the bill and will look spectacular when displayed on your wall. Other states and countries are also offered in this same map style, so be sure to check out your particular state/country. This map includes the following features:
- Topographical coloration of terrain
- Scale which matches color to corresponding elevation values
- Three-dimensional shaded relief
- North Carolina cities and towns with population greater than 10000 (source: 2010 census)
- Legend
- Note: The purpose of this map is to provide a visual representation of North Carolina's topography and landscape. In order to maintain a clean and uncluttered image, map detail is limited to towns and cities only.
The Wall Map of North Carolina Topo is printed on 24lb. premium coated bond paper. It is also laminated on both sides using 3mm hot lamination, which protects your wall map and allows you to write on it with dry-erase markers.
