Shaded Relief Map of Central America and the Caribbean - 2D Flat Print
These are NOT 3D maps. They are printed on a flat paper. You cannot touch or feel any relief, not even if you buy a framed map. There is NO guarantee that captions and labels will be legible. You may not be able to read the text on the map. These are DECORATIVE maps, NOT for study, reference, or close-ups.
ABOUT THE MAP
This is a modern relief map of Central America and the Caribbean created with satellite elevation data. The maps are digitally rendered (2D prints), which gives them a new life in a vintage and contemporary manner. The relief is obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). We focus on every detail of production, and all our products are carefully designed and packaged to enrich your home. Our maps are also great gifts.

How we make these maps
How we make these maps
We are really glad to see that you are interested in our maps! We create maps because we love geography and art. With this brief text, we aim to explain how we create these maps.
These are old maps that have been restored and merged with modern relief maps created using satellite elevation data (printed in 2D – the maps are flat to the touch), displaying the relief of places in a vintage and contemporary manner, giving them a new perspective.
The relief data is obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and we use some software and techniques to make the maps look like they have real relief. Some maps are not based on old maps; they are just stylized to appear antique or modern. Other maps, such as those of the moon, planets, and world maps, can also undergo this process. All the other maps are based on old maps.
Creating these maps is not an easy task. To summarize, the process can be seen in the images below:

We are dedicated to offering high-quality products. Due to
the exclusive nature of our maps, all of them are printed on demand. Our goal is to ensure your complete satisfaction with our products.
