Tennessee's three grand divisions follow its terrain. East Tennessee holds the Blue Ridge, including the Great Smoky Mountains, the long parallel ridges of the Valley and Ridge, and the Cumberland Plateau. Middle Tennessee takes in the Highland Rim and the Nashville Basin, and West Tennessee descends across the Gulf Coastal Plain to the Mississippi River.

Kuwohi, formerly Clingmans Dome, is the highest point at 6,643 feet (2,025 m), and the Mississippi River is the lowest at 178 feet (54 m). In the Contours preview, lines crowd along the eastern border and trace the parallel ridges of the Valley and Ridge, the edges of the Cumberland Plateau show as bands of tight lines, and the west opens into sparse, wandering loops.

The preview is the Contours export for Tennessee on a dark background at 18 × 24 inches. The state is long and narrow, so it sits as a thin band across the poster. In the creator you can change the contour interval, colors and title, or switch to Ridgeline, Strata or a 3D terrain model.

Questions about the Tennessee artwork

Can I make a map of just the Great Smoky Mountains?
Yes. At state scale the Smokies are a thin strip along the eastern border. Search Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the creator to fill the poster with the mountains.
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.
