Alaska, Physical, Laminated Wall Map by Raven Maps [no longer available]
Alaska has always been one of the two or three most popular maps here at Raven. Not only is it a spectacular landscape to visit,  the state’s memorable outline and mountain arcs make a compelling graphic image.
But the state presents some real cartographic design challenges. It is huge,  requiring a relatively small scale in order to fit on a sheet that is practical to display. And it is full of mostly very small
settlements and an infinite number of mountains and rivers and bays and capes, tricky enough to label legibly even on a very plain map. Our emphasis on physical features dictates very selective naming. We hope our vivid representation of the landscape makes up for fewer place names.
In these regions the standard cartographic convention of outlining lake shorelines (as our original Alaska edition did) produces a completely unintelligible tangle of lines. But, our low-elevation dark greens allow us to simply leave the lakes and rivers white. No outline is needed. This approach works well in low-lying areas, but lighter elevation colors require a blue line for visibility. How do we square that circle?
We went back and forth with this problem. In the end we use both treatments. We shift river and lake color from white to blue, based on background color and visual continuity. This is not a hyper-logical GIS treatment, but an intuitive visual call: a map must first of all make visual sense.
Map Details
Alaska Map - Elevation Tints
.
Our map of Alaska uses elevation tints in subtle hues of green, tan, and brown to show the differences in elevation throughout Alaska, from sea level at the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, and the Arctic Ocean to Denali (20,310').
This Alaska topographic map displays an incredible amount of detail, from cities, highways, and mountain ranges, to valleys, rivers, and small towns. The elevations of Alaska are represented by color, and this, in combination with their special relief shading technique, gives the map a lush, 3-dimensional look.
