This colorful and artistic map of California is a topographical physical map like nothing you've ever seen before. This visually stunning map serves as both an artistic poster and a California reference map combined into one splendid map. The sensational image of the map was created by using digital elevation data to produce a 3-D visualization of California's terrain. The landscape is then colored according to elevation. The result is a stunning image of California that is entirely accurate and incredibly detailed - even the smallest hills and valleys are visible. Being one of the most topographically diverse states in America, the state of California is perfect to display in this topographical style which accentuates its broad mountain ranges, vast valleys, deserts, canyons, and other unique landforms and overall rugged beauty. Specific natural features of California such as the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coast Ranges, Klamath Mountains, Mojave Desert, and the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys are all clearly visible. The map, while mostly a visual physical map, also includes all major towns and cities of California - adding usefulness to the map without cluttering it or detracting from California's physical beauty. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a piece of unique map art or a California reference map, this California map poster fits the bill perfectly and will look spectacular when displayed on your wall. This same map style is also offered for other states and countries. "This map includes the following features:
