Groovy Yosemite Trail Map

thingiverse

This is an awesome 3d map of Yosemite National Park that shows all the trails, roads, lakes and national park boundary in incredible detail. You can print it on a standard single color printer to create a durable and portable map that's perfect for backpacking or storing in a safety deposit box. The trails and other elements appear as tiny grooves that can be easily traced with a fine point marker or technical pen, making it easy to identify important features. The assembled map is approximately 12"x15" in size, making it a precise 1:200,000 replica of the park. The terrain data is derived from high-resolution SRTM DEM maps, while the trails, roads and lakes are sourced from OpenStreetMap data. The park boundary data was generously provided by the National Park Service. Please note that this map is not intended for navigation and may contain inaccuracies or missing features. If your favorite trail or secret trout lake isn't included, don't blame me! The sides of the map have carefully designed indentations to receive 4mm x 1.5mm rare earth magnets, which can be installed by pressing them in place or using a small drop of glue. When properly secured, the sections will snap together for easy use while allowing you to break them down and store them with ease.
