About the Matthiessen State Park topo map
Matthiessen State Park is in LaSalle County, Illinois. The Matthiessen State Park topo map shows the shape of the land the park protects, its ridges, valleys, bluffs and shorelines, drawn from USGS elevation data.
This design uses contour lines every 10 feet, a map about 2.5 miles across, 215 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.
Pick it up for a camping trip memory, a family reunion spot or the park you visit every summer. 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.
