Description
All products are high quality 2D prints, & although appearing 3D, are not raised relief maps. Our maps are incredibly high in resolution (often exceeding 12,000x 18,000 pixels), but suggest large prints for the best map viewing experience Shaded Relief Maps - Vintage & Modern Maps Reimagined Using a new, highly sophisticated method of shaded relief, historic & modern maps are brought to life using high resolution elevation models to give our maps a new feel with hyper realistic digital shading. The end goal is to create an end product that both preserves the quality of vintage maps while improving upon them with subtle details brought out by simulating high dynamic range lighting made capable with modern-day 3D modeling software. By combining beautiful maps with high resolution elevation data we add dynamic lighting & ray-traced hillshade that set our maps apart from the rest. Whether you appreciate maps for their historic quality, as a recreational enthusiast, for educational purposes, or are someone who loves their 'Home' these maps can be enjoyed by all. Our Maps: - Vintage Maps - Enjoy the details that make old maps so amazing, from timeless fonts & symbology, to old depictions of townships & cities, all brought to life & enhanced with subtle shadows & highlights that enables terrain to be understood intuitively. Say goodbye to crunchy hillshade & hello to cartographic realism! We digitally restore old maps by removing unattractive side effects of aging & enhancing dynamic range so that our maps are as clean & beautiful as possible. - Vintage Map Composites - Ever find a great map that covers one area that you love, but just misses mountains ranges or towns just adjacent of the map? This happens all the time... until now! Instead of acquiring separate maps, we match a stitch together multiple maps to create mosaics. This way entire regions can be shown & geographic features can be captured at their full extent - as good maps should! We go the extra mile, obsessing over small details & matching map styles so that they are seamlessly composited together. in this process, maps are digitally cleaned up & enhanced, restoring beautiful maps from the past. By combining multiple maps we can decrease empty space so that you get the more map, all without losing the details that make old maps great! - Hydrologic/Range maps - We love the relationship between mountains & rivers. Often maps can be overcrowded crowded by data that may not always be of interest. Our custom maps of mountain ranges & river basins prioritize minimalistic styles while showing tremendous river & stream data using a method of stream visualization known as Strahler stream order. On top of that, our high fidelity terrain visualization is the best in the industry. We use the best data available so that our visualizations are clean & detailed. The end product are maps that are incredibly granular in detail without overwhelming the viewer. Our maps show every stream, creek & ripple in
