Greater Bay Area - Light Water - Elevation Tints Fine Art Print Map
The San Francisco Bay Area is widely regarded as one of the most
scenically impressive urban areas in America. The distinctive
combination of a very large estuary with steep ridges and deep valley
makes for dramatic views, with abrupt topography producing landscapes
ranging from rainforests to arid grasslands, all within a few tens of
miles.
This is the classic Raven Wall Map. It
uses shaded relief to portray the land and combines shading with
elevation tints-- a sequence of delicate hues and colors that portrays
landforms--much more clearly than the abstraction of contour lines.
Elevation colors make mountains, highlands, and valleys immediately
obvious.
Our Bay Area maps are in two versions with identical content by
contrasting ways of showing water, with differing visual impacts for
varied tastes.
