San Francisco Bay Area

This ultra-high detail map displays all of the 81 cities and municipalities that are a part of the San Francisco Bay Area.  The map includes the cities of Napa, Sonoma and Petaluma  to the north, Walnut Creek and Concord to the East to Silicone Valley to the south The intricacy of the map invites the observer to linger over landscape  and the water showing the many areas of  and the areas many rivers, if viewed closely, one may notice the lightly engraved trees illustrating the many of the open space, parks and shoreline. No matter how many times you look at this map, each glance is sure to invite discovery.  With this piece, the beauty and timelessness of cartographic art speak for themselves.

Our process uses micro-3D engraving to represent fine details across several layers of the artwork. The deepest layer is the core of the plywood below the veneer, and the highest layer is a clear gloss. Each meticulously mapped layer is represented by a specific laser intensity and frequency, resulting in an engraving with subtle nuance in its gloss, depth, and texture. Bridges and overpasses are mapped to the lowest power, so they are represented on the top layer (least engraved), while large roads and tunnels are set to high power for the extra depth. Farms, forest and parks landscapes, industrial areas, universities, and schools all have distinct textures that distinguish them on the map. Water, in all its forms, is represented by a mesmerizing wave pattern. Open natural areas are left untouched and retain the beauty of the base material. 

Map data is provided by Open Street Maps and ESRI for accurate cartographic projections and is processed in a way that allows Alpha Channel Design to produce custom large area maps with the maximum level of map detail at the highest resolution the material can handle (typically 300-600dpi).
