This brilliant map art displays the state of South Dakota in a unique and colorful topographical style like you've never seen before: a combination of a South Dakota reference map, South Dakota physical map, and an artistic South Dakota poster. The sensational topographical image of the map was created by using digital elevation data to produce a 3-D model of South Dakota's terrain. The landscape is then colored according to elevation. The result is a stunning colorful image of South Dakota that is completely accurate and incredibly detailed - even the smallest hills and valleys are clearly visible. South Dakota's landscape really comes to life when displayed in this topographical style. Starting out as mostly flat farmland in the east, the hills become more roaming and rugged as you head west, ending in the far west with the Black Hills standing high above the rest of the state. Other natural features such as the Missouri Plateau, Prairie Coteau, and Badlands are also clearly visible in the map. While this map serves primarily as a visual physical map of South Dakota's terrain, the map also includes South Dakota's major towns and cities. This addition adds usefulness to the South Dakota map without cluttering it or detracting from South Dakota's natural beauty. It doesn't matter if you're looking for beautiful map art or a South Dakota reference map, this South Dakota map poster is guaranteed to satisfy and look spectacular when displayed 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
- South Dakota cities and towns with population greater than 1000 (source: 2010 census)
- Legend
- Note: The purpose of this map is to provide a visual representation of South Dakota's
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 South Dakota 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.
