Raised relief maps are superior visual references that give a new perspective. Not only do these maps show you the beauty of the land, they allow you to touch a scaled representation of the mountains and valleys. Fully three-dimensional, these vacuum-formed vinyl maps also use colors and shading appropriate to the natural terrain so you get a better understanding of the terrain and landforms. These maps make unique wall decor for home or office. The perfect gift for anyone who likes to travel New Mexico; and a wonderfully decorative and informative item for native or newcomer.
These maps were prepared using base materials originally produced by the U.S. Geological Survey for their definitive 1:250,000-scale series. Those extremely detailed bases identify thousands of features, such as even minor lakes and streams ignored by most maps. H. M. Gousha brought the U.S.G.S. materials up to date with current roads and reservoirs. They then went far beyond the originals by adding appropriate color tints to depict the natural terrain. This sequence of color, in combination with the raised relief provided by Hubbard Scientific, creates a graphic picture of the entire landform.
