Nebraska rises more than 4,500 feet from east to west. The lowest point is the Missouri River in the southeast, at 840 feet (256 m), and the highest is Panorama Point in the Panhandle near the Colorado and Wyoming lines, at 5,424 feet (1,653 m). The Platte River crosses the state from west to east, and the Sand Hills, a vast region of grass-covered sand dunes, cover much of the north-central part.

In the Strata preview, the Panhandle at the left takes the palest colors and the bands deepen steadily eastward, so the state's long slope reads like a sunset. River valleys run across the outline as faint darker lines, and the eastern edge breaks along the Missouri.

The preview is the Strata export for Nebraska with the canyon palette, on a 24 × 18 inch landscape sheet. In the creator you can change the palette, vertical exaggeration, background and title, or switch the state to Ridgeline, Contours or a 3D terrain model.

What you can make from Nebraska

Poster. Keep the Strata preview or switch to another poster style. Set the title, colors and size, then download PNG, PDF or SVG and print it yourself or through a print shop.

3D terrain model. Choose the 3D Terrain Model product to turn the same state into a printable relief. Adjust the model size, base and vertical exaggeration, preview it in the browser, then download STL or 3MF for your slicer.

Questions about the Nebraska artwork

Can I frame the Sand Hills or Scotts Bluff on their own?
Yes. Search Scotts Bluff National Monument, Valentine or another place in the creator, or draw your own area, and the dunes or the bluffs fill the poster instead of a small part of the state.
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.
Do you ship a printed poster or a 3D print?
No. Printed Canyon delivers digital files only: PNG, PDF and SVG for posters, and STL, 3MF and GLB for terrain models. You print them at home or through a print shop or 3D-printing service of your choice.
