Washington DC regional raised relief map

Hubbard Scientific Washington DC regional raised relief map
This three-dimensional vinyl map shows a section of southern Maryland and northern Virginia, plus all of the District of Columbia.  There's little more than 650 feet difference between the highest points on the map and sea level, and most of the region consists of much lower hills and inlets of the Chesapeake Bay.  The latter dominates the right side of the map, while the Potomac River(which in most of this region is one of the branches of the Chesapeake), winds across the center.  Washington DC is at top center.

Maps in this series show elevation contours, with a green tint showing the extent of woodlands.  Water features such as lakes, ponds, creeks, marshes, canals, and shorelines (where present) are indicated in detail.  Shows roads and highways of all classes, and sometimes trails.  Railroads are also shown.  National, state, provincial, and county boundaries are demarcated, as are other boundaries such as parks and wildlife refuges.  Other features shown in this series are mines, airstrips and airports, isolated landmark buildings, lookout towers, and more.  The maps are lined with the UTM grid at 1000 meter intervals.

None of the maps in this series are recently published.  The manufacturer, Hubbard Scientific, uses data from the US Geological Survey, but USGS rarely updates any of the maps in this series; most use data 20 to 40 years old.  You get them for the depiction of the topography, which rarely changes, not for current roads and city boundaries.  In fact, many of them have an added appeal for their historical interest.  See below for date of the map described on this page.
