This is a STUNNING map showing landforms and the ages of bedrock across the North American continent.  It is a union of two maps: shaded relief and geology.  Although I am admittedly a big fan of geology maps, I think just about anybody will appreciate the artfullness of this beautiful map. 

Tapestry of Time & Terrain
Currently on display at the Map Store

Currently on display at the Map Store are the ultra cool raised relief maps.  They are molded plastic and show all the topography in tactile 3-D.  We carry a full line, including:

• The four topographic maps (1:250K scale) covering the entire area from Spokane to Flathead Lake (Lake Pend Oreille is on two of the four in the set)
• National Parks including Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, the Olympics, and Mount Rainier (my personal favorite)
• State maps for Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and Oregon
• United States, a natural color version and a satellite version
• The Ocean Floor, dramatically showing the underwater mountain ranges and trenches
• Mexico

We can also special order maps for numerous other countries.  Call us for more info 208-265-8883

This is where I will periodically add Map Store news and events, info on currently exhibited maps, cartography field notes, Sandpoint photos, and map musings.  Please feel free to link to this feed if you’d like. Use the menu to the right and click on RSS. I hope you enjoy the chronicles.
