Explore the topography of the 1981 Appalachian Trail Map in stunning 3D Raised Relief, an original creation from Muir Way. 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 map that allows you to visually and tactically explore the diverse terrain of the Appalachian Mountains, from the Chattahoochee National Forest all the way up to

Baxter State Park.


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.
