About the Houghton Elevation designs
Houghton is a town in Houghton County, Michigan at 634 feet above sea level, located at 47.1218° N, 88.5690° W. We print that elevation and the exact coordinates, taken from U.S. Geological Survey public-domain data, on two designs for shirts, mugs, prints and stickers.
- Elevation Marker: a vintage survey-disk style marker with the elevation stamped around the rim.
- GPS Coordinates: clean, minimal type with the exact latitude, longitude and elevation.
Every design comes in dark ink for white and heather shirts and in cream for black and navy shirts. It makes a gift for anyone who lives near Houghton, has a cabin there or has stood on the spot.
