Virginia's geological survey describes five physiographic provinces. The Appalachian Plateau just brushes the far southwest, the Valley and Ridge runs along the western border, and the narrow Blue Ridge sits against it. East of the mountains, the Piedmont, the largest province, stretches across central Virginia, and the Coastal Plain slopes gently toward the coastline.

Mount Rogers, on the Grayson–Smyth county line in southwestern Virginia, is the highest point at 5,729 feet (1,746 m), and the lowest is sea level on the Atlantic. In the Ridgeline preview, the western provinces rise as tightly packed crests, the lines ease across the Piedmont, and they flatten into long, even strokes on the Coastal Plain, with the Eastern Shore as broken lines across the bay.

The preview is the Ridgeline export for Virginia with light lines on a dark background. Its outline is wide and short, leaving open space above the ridges; in the creator you can adjust line density, perspective, colors and title, or switch to Contours, Strata or a 3D terrain model.

What you can make from Virginia

Poster. Keep the Ridgeline preview or switch to another poster style. Set the title, colors and size, then have us print, frame and ship it, or download PNG, PDF or SVG and print it yourself.

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 Virginia artwork

Can I make a Virginia map of just the Blue Ridge?
Yes. The state page keeps the whole outline, so the mountains are a narrow band. Search a place such as Shenandoah National Park in the creator to fill the poster with the ridges instead.
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.
