"Government cartographer develops new process for
making relief maps. Washington, D.C., Jan. 13.
Through a process just perfected by John Braund, Cartographer for the
U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, relief maps can now be made showing all the
details of topography in a form true to nature and which can be quickly
understood and accurately read by even the untrained map reader. Instead of
compressed paper or cardboard, Braund uses thin metal on which he has printed
the map desired. He then hammers out the typography with a special electric
hammer he has designed. Braund says this new method has proved more speedier,
efficient, and costs less to make than maps, 1/13/39"

I love the Concept of the 3D Relief map, it brings together mapping and allows it to take another dimension. I have a 3D Relief Map of the lake district in my office and really like it.
I like them as well, although they're kind of hard to roll up.

I think they are more appropriate for discussing walks of past rather than present ;)
