Idk the roads make it a bit too difficult to appreciate the topography. It's just a bit busy.

What do you mean? My eyes suck and I can read them zooming in on a phone. I think you need an optometrist

It is…but when you stand in those ‘valleys’ and see the distance between the mountains you get how vast the US is.

Love this topo, but it’s waaay to busy. Highways aren’t necessary and distracts from the point of showing off the topo.

But only on the left side, yeah, that’s the crimped side.

Does anybody happen to know of a GIS layer for something like this?

Super cool map!
Where can I buy the fully textured map? (This picture is of a flat, 2D map)

That's just OP's title. Looks like the creator made the entire piece as "cartographic art".

Is the DFW area kind of hilly in Texas?

That's like a quarter of my city's economy. People just not wanting to go through more mountains for the day and staying in a hotel.
Gotta love Grand Junction.

When the Hudson River (New York) was connected to Lake Erie by cargo canals, it really opened up trade and made New York boom.
The Mississippi River is navigable all the way up to Minnesota, and St Louis is located where the Missouri River connects to the Mississippi.

Why does Houston have a big blank spot in the middle? It's the only city like this that I can see.

I actually like it. Roads are useful information about how busy / dense a place is and their location is influenced by topography.
