FLAT 2D SHADED RELIEF MAP - Our Appalachian Trail 1981 Shaded Relief Map was created with shaded relief added to create the illusion of 3D by applying Digital Elevation Data and meticulously adding shaded relief to the landscape of the original 1981 Appalachian Trail map. The result is a stunning 3D illusion that showcases every detail of the trail's varied terrain. This unique map is designed and printed at the highest level to transport you to the heart of the Appalachian Trail. The printed on shading allows for traditional framing. The text on the map may be difficult to read due to the small font size, and the age of the map. In areas where relief shading covers the text, the underlying text is illegible. Made in the USA, our Shaded Relief Maps are printed with archival paper and inks ensuring an intricately detailed, fade-free piece with amazing colors. Made of 100% Cotton, OBA-Free, Acid-Free these maps are printed on heavyweight 21.5 mil fine art paper. At Muir Way, we consider our maps to be works of art, so we print them accordingly.
