Founded in 2007, Summit Terragraphics designs and manufactures custom thermoformed raised-relief 3D maps at its Maryland facility. The intentionally small, privately owned company began with maps for hikers and peak-baggers and now creates terrain models for organizations including the National Park Service and U.S. Military. Its maps combine modern geodata with hands-on American craftsmanship to make landscapes easier to understand than they are on a flat page.
