Would probably hit a lot harder in 3D lol
Would be a fun VR map
These kind of relief maps are called “exaggerated”, the vertical scale is different from horizontal. If you would zoom in and look from a closer birds eye like view, mountains would look really unrealistic.
Example from r*ddit:
I love this so much. I want to own a physical version of this relief map
I read Lost City of Z recently, and this is a wonderful visual aid for that. If you haven’t read the book, you definitely should. The movies was OK, but the book was amazing.
Yea those Andes are crazy … no wonder the Amazon comes out of them!
Amazon’s discharge is not big because of the mountains, but it flows around the equator, where the rain never stops.
The upper section in the Andes it’s called Apurímac. Just see the images on wiki, it’s not very wide while leaving the mountains, it gets most of its water downstream
Thanks!
Did you make it or just share it? I love these kinds of maps. A guy online made me some custom ones before for free of an island where I have property, was super nice of him. Your style looks different though, I really like it.
Where? No source? No download/online-map?
source is already there under the map, down and left, look closer
Ah, thanks.
