South Lake George Relief Map

This took a while to create. I read numerous articles and experimented with several methods before settling on more than four different programs to download USGS topo maps, convert them into elevation maps, and then generate a solid base beneath the elevation as a block. The model was too large for Tinkercad. The software proved challenging due to my unfamiliarity with Blender, but I managed to complete it. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. I acquired valuable knowledge in the process. A few tips if you plan to print this: ensure that you print it on its side; otherwise, the resolution will be poor. I deliberately set up my printer (Lulzbot mini) so that the table would move along the long axis. I was confident it wouldn't topple over but made sure to secure it twice. By the way, I'm not a Seton Hall graduate. My daughter is scheduled to attend in the fall.
