National Park Raised Relief

Molded plastic raised relief maps show the mountains and canyons of these areas in three dimensions. Map images are not shown at the same scale.
We are sold out of all of the national parks maps, and do not expect to be reordering. You can obtain all of the ones that are available directly from the manufacturer, Hubbard Scientific, a division of American Educational Products.

Acadia National Park
This map shows the entire region around Acadia National Park in Maine. The park itself is not shown in very much detail. Mount Desert Island, for example, where the main body of the park is located, measures only about three inches wide at this scale. But as you can see in the image, it gives you a great overview of the Acadia-Penobscot Bay region, and includes the towns of Rockland, Thomaston, Camden, Belfast, Bucksport, and Ellsworth. Topographic contours are shown at an interval of 50 feet (there is an error in the key on the map: it says the contour interval is 200 feet).
Scale: 1:250,000 (1 inch = about 4 miles). Size: about 18½ x 12½ inches.
Published by Hubbard Scientific, 1992.
Item #HS-402. Shipping weight: 2.0 lbs. Publisher's price: $16.75. Regular discount price: $15.10 Sale price: $12.00 (SOLD OUT!).

The Monument has been expanded since this map was made and given National Park status. Most of the lands added to the park in the northwest are not shown, but all of the lands added on to the south portions are included. Topographic contours are not shown, but in addition to the raised relief, gray shading emphasizes the shape of the mountains. Visitor facilites and roads are clearly represented.
Scale: 1 inch = about 4.5 miles. Size: about 21 x 25 inches.

Grand Canyon National Park S Series
Covers practically the entire park and the surrounding plateaus and forests. The main map does not show topographic contours, and is colored, based on "ERTS Satellite Photography."
The insets show more detail: One features South Rim Trails extending from the Hermit Trail to Grandview Trail and across the Colorado River to Phantom Ranch. The other inset shows the North Kaibab Trail up Bright Angel Creek to the North Rim. Both insets show topographic contours and have a gray shading to emphasize the relief.
Scale of main map: 1 inch = about 8 miles; scale of insets: 1 inch = about 1.2 miles. Size: about 21 x 21 inches.

Scale: about 1:235,000 (1 inch = about 3.7 miles). Size: about 21 x 22 inches.
