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 beautifully colored map that allows you to visually and tactilely explore the diverse terrain of the country, from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains. Hawaii and Alaska are not included on this map. 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 may be 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.
