This artistic and colorful map of Illinois is a topographical physical map like nothing you've ever seen before. This visually stunning map serves as both an artistic poster and an Illinois reference map combined into one splendid map. The image of the map was created by using digital elevation data to produce a 3-D representation of Illinois' terrain. The landscape is then colored according to elevation. The unique result is a striking image of Illinois that is completely accurate and incredibly detailed - even the smallest hills and valleys are clearly visible. Though not a particularly mountainous state, the subtle beauty of the Illinois landscape comes to life in this map because the coloring has been customized specifically for Illinois' elevation range, and the shading adds contrast and depth which makes the contours of the land appear quite rugged. While this map serves primarily as a visual physical map of Illinois' terrain, the map also includes Illinois' major towns and cities. This addition adds usefulness to the Illinois map without cluttering it or detracting from Illinois' physical beauty. It doesn't matter if you're looking for beautiful map art or an Illinois reference map, this Illinois map poster is guaranteed to satisfy and look sensational on your wall. We offer this same map style for other states and countries too, so be sure to check them out. This map includes the following features:
- Topographical coloration of terrain
- Scale which matches color to corresponding elevation values
- Three-dimensional shaded relief
- Illinois cities and towns with population greater than 10000 (source: 2010 census)
- Legend
- Note: The purpose of this map is to provide a visual representation of Illinois' topography and landscape. In order to maintain a clean and uncluttered image, map detail is limited to towns and cities only.
The Wall Map of Illinois Topo is printed on 24lb. premium coated bond paper. It is also laminated on both sides using 3mm hot lamination, which protects your wall map and allows you to write on it with dry-erase markers.
