About the Painted Canyon topo map
Painted Canyon is a hiking area in Billings County, North Dakota. Its topo map traces the terrain along the trails from USGS 3DEP elevation data.
This design uses contour lines every 25 feet, a map about 3.1 miles across, 490 feet of relief inside the frame. Every fifth line is drawn heavier, as on a USGS quad, so the shape reads from across the room.
For trail runners, hikers and anyone who knows these hills on foot. Choose from four styles, Topo Block, Summit Badge, Retro Peak and Minimal Fade, in navy for light shirts or cream for dark ones. Printed to order on T-shirts, hoodies, mugs, canvas prints, stickers, ornaments and more.
