Glaciers left most of Minnesota's surface: moraines, outwash plains and thousands of lake basins. In the northwest, the Red River Valley is the flat floor of glacial Lake Agassiz, and in the southwest the land rises onto the Coteau des Prairies. The highest ground lies in the Arrowhead, above the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Eagle Mountain in Cook County is the highest point at 2,302 feet (702 m), and Lake Superior is the lowest at 601 feet (183 m). In the Strata preview, the Arrowhead and the Coteau des Prairies take the palest greens, while the Red River Valley and the Minnesota River valley settle into darker bands.

The preview is the Strata export for Minnesota with the forest palette at 18 × 24 inches. Open it in the creator to change the palette, background, title and vertical exaggeration, or switch to Ridgeline, Contours or a 3D terrain model.

Questions about the Minnesota artwork

Can I make a map of the North Shore or the Boundary Waters?
Yes. The state page keeps the whole outline, so the Arrowhead is only a corner of the poster. Search a place such as the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness or Grand Marais in the creator to fill the frame with the north woods.
Can I make a 3D-printable model of the whole state?
Yes. Switch the product to 3D Terrain Model in the creator to preview the state as a relief model and download STL, 3MF or GLB. Choose a model size that fits your printer and check the slicer preview before printing.
How much does it cost?
Downloads are pay what you want, including free. You can add a contribution at checkout if the artwork or model is worth it to you. No account is needed. Printed posters start at $29 for the smallest unframed size.
Do you ship a printed poster or a 3D print?
Posters, yes: we print, frame and ship them worldwide, with free shipping on unframed prints, or you can download PNG, PDF and SVG files instead. Terrain models come as STL, 3MF and GLB files to print yourself or through a 3D-printing service.
