Description

This model has the shape of the continental USA and contains the smoothed terrain. We use this model to generate jewelry like earrings and pendants for our GeoBling series. You probably have some other cool idea what to use this for ;)

If you like this you can check out some stuff we sell on our website printablegeography.com. If you need any geographical model for a project or otherwise, just drop us a message and we'll see if we can help you.

And here is some legal blurb: The data used to generate this item is the “Hole-filled seamless SRTM data V4” provided by the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). This data is available publicly at srtm.csi.cgiar.org. The Society for Printable Geography is not afiliated with CIAT in any way.

Oops, didn't see your comment until now. Finland: http://printablegeography.com/... :)

This is so neat! We'll have to find Finland, now ;)

IIRC your mapping authority has recently released a lot of free data.
