This physical map of the Middle East dramatically displays the contours of the land and sea floor. The map was developed by using state of the art techniques to combine colored elevation layers with 3-D shading. The image was produced entirely through digital manipulation of actual topographical data - not an artist's interpretation. This technique allows for the striking representation of mountains, plains, plateaus, hills, and valleys as they actually exist! In addition to the stunning visual effect, this map also serves as a fully featured reference map by providing useful geographic layers and loads of detail. Both physical and political reference information is included. The map includes countries like Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, and Afghanistan which are sometimes left off of Middle East maps.
