I asked for Olympus Mons
When ramble posted a list of mountains, I complained that they didn't have Olympus Mons. They got back to me and said it was a good idea, and I suggest they reach out to the jpl art department, which does publicity collaborations for space projects. I don't know whether they reached out, but I do know that they delivered within a month. I have not yet decided where to hang my piece, but I am a very impressed with it.

Even better in real life!
We ordered the wood mounted map of VT for our camp in the NEK of VT. When it arrived we were delighted. The pictures on the web site do not convey the depth and detail of the maps up close. It looks great on the wall of our camp. The wall mounting system makes it easy to mount on the wall securely and flush with the wall giving the impression the the image is floating just off the wall. We are delighted with our new map and are thinking about a bigger version next time, perhaps also upgrading to an acrylic or aluminum mount. Customer service has been awesome too! Great gift idea for mountain dwelling outdoorsy family or friends.

So much fine detail on this map it truly is a work of art. I love the floating 'Frame'. Great job Ramble making such a unique and awesome product!

Gorgeous detail
Love my new map of my home state of Maine. This view is a like a geologic history, showing clearly where the glaciers receded leaving large river system, the rocky coast and the tail end of the Appalachian Trail at Katahdin. Love this rendition of Maine.

Exactly as described
This map is full of detail that 'pops' differently in each light as the day progresses. Already a conversation piece, I keep a laser pointer nearby so I can point out locations and features. I was initially hesitant about the price, but it has proven to be well worth the money.

Loving my MSH map
My husband gave me Ramble's Mt. St. Helen's map for a holiday gift. It's stunning! The topography is breath taking and the aluminum mounting is really unique. What a way to remember and study this unique place. If you love a map lover, they'll love this map!

I have the Mt. Rainier map mounted on aluminum hung in my main hallway and it stops people in their tracks when they pass by. I highly recommend Ramble Maps to add to your own collection or as a gift to someone that embraces the outdoors.

Beautiful centerpiece over our mantel!
We love our shiny new centerpiece - it’s perfect above our mantel. We chose the aluminum map, which really picks up the light and highlights the elevation changes. It came well packaged, arrived quickly and was very easy to install. I would highly recommend Ramble Maps!

The Contrast is Striking
There isn’t a better showcase of the Olympic Peninsula out there. This map does such a great job at highlighting both the mountains and the river canyons with its focus on dramatizing the region’s contrasting elevations. I had an issue with the map’s shipping, and Matt replied within TEN MINUTES on a weekend and took care of everything immediately. This is definitely a business worth supporting in the future!

A.MAZ.ING.
This map blew us away. We've been staring at it obsessively since we received it as a gift. The quality is top notch and the detail is incredible. It was packaged meticulously with no damages to the wooden frame or map.
Being able to see all of our mountain ranges in this way is really cool. My husband is a mountain guide in Idaho (and geology enthusiast), so he has loved staring at this map and getting a visual of the geological history of how the mountains, deserts, and valleys were formed in Idaho (i.e. a curved valley indicates a mountain range formed by a glacier... stuff like that). The detailed geology of the map can even show how weather patterns have affected parts of the state differently. Plus, you can point out all the rad places you've backcountry skiied over the years...and then see all the places you still want to explore!
Anyways, if you are a geology geek, weather geek, or mountain geek, you will love these maps.

Mansfield Region Map
I am delighted by the quality of this map. I got it for my husband as a gift and as soon as he opened it we spent nearly an hour with our kids pointing out spots where we’ve hiked, skied, etc. I chose the wood backing and it is solid and rustic in appearance- as promised. A truly interesting and unique addition to our home.

I purchased the Colorado map and the pictures don't do it justice! The details in the map are amazing and it looks like there are actual ridges and contours. Also, the customer service is out of this world. I plan to purchase more maps.

Beautiful!
I bought this for my wife's birthday. She is an avid NH hiker. She has hiked all 48 4000 footers (multiple times) and is currently 60% of the way through redlining.
She was amazed by the contrast and instantly broke out her hiking maps and google maps and started to locate her favorite mountains.
We have it hung where we can see it all the time.
We received the map during the pre-holiday rush and UPS wasn't as gentle with the package as they normally would have been, so there was damage to the map. I sent an email to Ramble customer service on a Sunday and received a very quick response from Matt, within an hour. I was expecting a form response with a 'we will get back to you with in 24-48 hours', but actually got a human. Matt quickly told me how he would have a new map shipped with extra shipping material to protect the map.
Within a week or so we got our new pristine map and couldn't be happier with the quality of the map or the responsiveness of the company.
And just to cap the whole thing off, when UPS delivered the new map, we watched them deliver it to our neighbor, while we got the package meant for them. After UPS left, I quickly went over and exchanged the packages.
Thank you Ramble.

Eye Catcher
Our map is definitely an eye-catcher in our home. I have it hanging on a wall at eye level in the living room near a corner that leads to bedrooms and bathrooms. It's a great spot for this map in terms of traffic and light. I opted for the wood-mounted map, but I think the aluminum or acrylic would also be great looking in our contemporary style home. We gave the same map to our map-loving friend for Christmas because he loves ours so much.

My Ramble USA map was a great finishing touch to my renovated home office. It blends great with my black and gray highlights desk and gray herringbone sofa. People's eyes go straight for the map. And the questions come rapid fire. I know some of the answers and wing the rest. Ramble On!

Quality is Extremely Professional
I love the presentation and the quality of it. My first reaction was, "Wow!" As a photographer I know it's hard to see a sample online and then grasp how it translates to the finished printed product, but the quality of the print is extremely professional. I was also blown away by how sturdy the mounting was and there's nothing flimsy or low quality about it. When I explained it to my wife before hand she thought it sounded like a cool print, but then in person she was likewise very surprised with the quality.
The detail is every bit as impressive printed as it was in the image files online. You can even make out individual tree species in the beaver ponds south of Mount Mansfield in the print I got. The resolution has to be extremely high to get the level of detail shown and the shading makes it easy to see even very small terrain changes. The detail in the forest is the best part though, with the color showing even different stands of trees that vary in short distances.
The quality is very high. Crisp lines on everything, nothing even close to blurry or smeared borders. The wood mounting is solid! That is one heck of sturdy mount. Gives it a nice 2-3 inch barrier from wall as well.
Mt Mansfield looks as good as it always does. It is front and center in the image, showing all the drainages that cascade down off the ridgeline, along with the ski trails. Almost looks like a straight satellite image with how detailed it is.
Some of the drainages flow slightly differently than I thought in person. It's a very cool way to visualize how water moves down the flanks of Vermont's highest peak.
Mansfield is a special place to me, so it's great to be able to see it in this new medium on a daily basis in my living room.

Gorgeous Grand Canyon Map
This image is beautiful and allows for accurate visual assessment of the terrain in the Grand Canyon area. I purchased this as a gift for my geologist husband who is one of the primary geologic mappers of this incredible terrain. Needless to say, this beautiful, ready to hang map is right over his desk as a daily inspiration. Though many lift their eyes to the 'hills from whence cometh their strength'--- some look to canyons! What's YOUR place??!!

Great Service
Been meaning to write this review for a while. I ordered a map for a buddy that climbed Denali, but it never showed up. Matt at Ramble was awesome. He answered my email within minutes, contacted Fedex and (in the end) made sure my buddy got his Xmas present.
My buddy very, very happy with the map and I was really happy with the service.
Amazon would have screwed me. And Matt took care of everything.

Attention to detail
The print on aluminum looks great. The mounting option is great as well, as it provides depth from the wall. Print is super high gloss, so it almost appears glass-like.
Product was ordered, created, and shipped in an extremely efficient manner. I will consider purchasing the Adams print in the future.

My brother got me this map to celebrate my completion of the Colorado trail earlier this year. The details are stunning; I feel like I could look at it for hours.

We absolutely love our Cascade Range Ramble map. It looks beautiful up on the wall in our office.
After living in the PNW for 5 years, it's such an incredible daily reminder of all our favorite mountains and adventures. The spine of the Cascades is so well articulated and we love that each of the volcanoes pops out at you. They are all so uniquely shaped and this map shows them to perfection.

The map is incredible
The level of detail lets you pick out lines, landmarks and features that you ski or hike on. I have even discovered back-county lines from looking at it.
It's more than a map though, its a beautiful piece of art that really stands out (literally and figuratively) from all my other art. I have gotten tons of 'Whoa! Is that Stowe!? That's awesome! Oh look, there's (fill in trail, line, feature here).' from people seeing it for the first time.

Generally very pleased
Beautiful and practical. As a backcountry skier, I really appreciate having the trail networks on this map. Its makes it easier to to decipher location relativity. It would be really cool if it came with a digital file showing topographic lines as well. Then you could really locate off trail areas with precision (exact elevation is missing from the map but I understand why, as it would likely detract from the aesthetic value).Two things of note regarding the trails on the map.1. Oddly the Long Trail, and the Catamount Trail are abruptly cut off about 8 and 5 inches respectively from the left side edge of the map. Not sure if this is just on mine or is the case on all. Either way, it is the only point of contention that I have with an otherwise excellent piece of art.
2. The CHNSA trails that stretch up into the saddle between Bald Hill and Crows Foot are not 100% accurate. The map shows a straight trail and a switchback trail. There is only a switchback trail for part of this stretch. minor detail - far less noticeable. And to be fair, that area has seen some noticeable changes in recent years.

Beautiful but bent corner
The map is beautiful. I got the largest size. Unfortunately the bottom left corner arrived bent, which mars the otherwise perfect map. It’s too much trouble after Christmas and everything 2020 to send back or spend the energy to fix. Trying to bend it back myself will likely make it worse. So, 5 stars for a beautiful map, 1 star for damaged product.
Note from Ramble:
We replaced Phyllis' map after learning about the damage. We will replace any map damaged during shipment, just email us at hello@ramblemaps.com to let us know and we'll take care of the rest.

I have not seen this in person. It appears to be more detailed than your Michigan map.
I give it a low rating, only because I was so disappointed in the Michigan one. And, I probably should have ordered one Sugarbush map and one VT map.

I was disappointed. I never saw it, because it had not been posted at the time I decided to purchase it. It is certainly high quality, but barely any detail - which I had assumed would be there.
Sorry.
I have not seen the VT map, not until XMas at my daughter's. The Sugarbush map I probably should have gotten for my son.

A map is a story. The story of a successful summit, of that family vacation, of your home state. It is the story of a landscape filled with memories and adventures.
When we create a Ramble map, our goal is to show the beauty of the landscape as best we can. We want you to see the hills, valleys, rivers, and transitions between ecosystems. Each map shows something unique. Each area has something surprising, even to those who know it well.
About This Map
Your map is a 2-dimensional print that is ready to hang out of the box on a backing that will float it off the wall, giving it a nice shadow like in our pictures.
This elevation map of Mars is a composite of elevation data and orbital photography. It shows the martian surface across all longitudes from approximately 60-degrees north to 65-degrees south.
Our map shows the largest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons on the left of the map. It is one of a cluster of four large volcanoes on the Tharsis Plateua. Further south the Mariner Valley (Valles Marineris) can be seen. It's walls are up to 4 miles deep and it's length is only surpassed by the Rift Valleys of East Africa.
Estimated Arrival
Your map is made to order in the USA and will arrive in 1 to 2 weeks.
FAQ
Are these prints flat or 3D (they are flat!) and answers to other common questions can be found in our FAQ.
Who We Are
Two friends on a mission to show the beauty of the landscape as best we can. Based out of Burlington, Vermont. Read more.

Excellent
Hi res, beautifully mounted, great service. Thank you!
I asked for Olympus Mons
When ramble posted a list of mountains, I complained that they didn't have Olympus Mons. They got back to me and said it was a good idea, and I suggest they reach out to the jpl art department, which does publicity collaborations for space projects. I don't know whether they reached out, but I do know that they delivered within a month. I have not yet decided where to hang my piece, but I am a very impressed with it.
Even better in real life!
We ordered the wood mounted map of VT for our camp in the NEK of VT. When it arrived we were delighted. The pictures on the web site do not convey the depth and detail of the maps up close. It looks great on the wall of our camp. The wall mounting system makes it easy to mount on the wall securely and flush with the wall giving the impression the the image is floating just off the wall. We are delighted with our new map and are thinking about a bigger version next time, perhaps also upgrading to an acrylic or aluminum mount. Customer service has been awesome too! Great gift idea for mountain dwelling outdoorsy family or friends.
Beautiful piece!
So much fine detail on this map it truly is a work of art. I love the floating 'Frame'. Great job Ramble making such a unique and awesome product!
Gorgeous detail
Love my new map of my home state of Maine. This view is a like a geologic history, showing clearly where the glaciers receded leaving large river system, the rocky coast and the tail end of the Appalachian Trail at Katahdin. Love this rendition of Maine.
Exactly as described
This map is full of detail that 'pops' differently in each light as the day progresses. Already a conversation piece, I keep a laser pointer nearby so I can point out locations and features. I was initially hesitant about the price, but it has proven to be well worth the money.
Loving my MSH map
My husband gave me Ramble's Mt. St. Helen's map for a holiday gift. It's stunning! The topography is breath taking and the aluminum mounting is really unique. What a way to remember and study this unique place. If you love a map lover, they'll love this map!

Works of Art
I have the Mt. Rainier map mounted on aluminum hung in my main hallway and it stops people in their tracks when they pass by. I highly recommend Ramble Maps to add to your own collection or as a gift to someone that embraces the outdoors.
Beautiful centerpiece over our mantel!
We love our shiny new centerpiece - it’s perfect above our mantel. We chose the aluminum map, which really picks up the light and highlights the elevation changes. It came well packaged, arrived quickly and was very easy to install. I would highly recommend Ramble Maps!
The Contrast is Striking
There isn’t a better showcase of the Olympic Peninsula out there. This map does such a great job at highlighting both the mountains and the river canyons with its focus on dramatizing the region’s contrasting elevations. I had an issue with the map’s shipping, and Matt replied within TEN MINUTES on a weekend and took care of everything immediately. This is definitely a business worth supporting in the future!
A.MAZ.ING.
This map blew us away. We've been staring at it obsessively since we received it as a gift. The quality is top notch and the detail is incredible. It was packaged meticulously with no damages to the wooden frame or map.
Being able to see all of our mountain ranges in this way is really cool. My husband is a mountain guide in Idaho (and geology enthusiast), so he has loved staring at this map and getting a visual of the geological history of how the mountains, deserts, and valleys were formed in Idaho (i.e. a curved valley indicates a mountain range formed by a glacier... stuff like that). The detailed geology of the map can even show how weather patterns have affected parts of the state differently. Plus, you can point out all the rad places you've backcountry skiied over the years...and then see all the places you still want to explore!
Anyways, if you are a geology geek, weather geek, or mountain geek, you will love these maps.
Great
Beautifully rendered map. We love it. To be sure, they are expensive. But in this case, you truly get what you pay for.
I love it
The detail is amazing. Needs good light to truly shine. I'm investing in some.
Ramble Jay Peak
Impressive and a conversational piece...first time viewers give a 'WOW' and deservedly so. It fits perfectly in our ski home, love it!
Mansfield Region Map
I am delighted by the quality of this map. I got it for my husband as a gift and as soon as he opened it we spent nearly an hour with our kids pointing out spots where we’ve hiked, skied, etc. I chose the wood backing and it is solid and rustic in appearance- as promised. A truly interesting and unique addition to our home.
Missing California
Arrived in perfect order, very well boxed. Opened to relieve a wonderful clear, sharp capture of my home state. Showed some of my new neighbors and each and every one of them was blown away by this piece. This is a great addition to my wall art. So, so glad I have this piece...
He loves it!
Bought the Yellowstone Park map for my sweetie, never having seen it in person. Fortunately, it is great! The detail clearly shows every feature. It’s exactly as your website states - lightweight aluminum and easy to hang. Thank you for such an excellent piece!
Awesome Maps!
I purchased the Colorado map and the pictures don't do it justice! The details in the map are amazing and it looks like there are actual ridges and contours. Also, the customer service is out of this world. I plan to purchase more maps.
Thank you Matt.
Beautiful!
I bought this for my wife's birthday. She is an avid NH hiker. She has hiked all 48 4000 footers (multiple times) and is currently 60% of the way through redlining.
She was amazed by the contrast and instantly broke out her hiking maps and google maps and started to locate her favorite mountains.
We have it hung where we can see it all the time.
We received the map during the pre-holiday rush and UPS wasn't as gentle with the package as they normally would have been, so there was damage to the map. I sent an email to Ramble customer service on a Sunday and received a very quick response from Matt, within an hour. I was expecting a form response with a 'we will get back to you with in 24-48 hours', but actually got a human. Matt quickly told me how he would have a new map shipped with extra shipping material to protect the map.
Within a week or so we got our new pristine map and couldn't be happier with the quality of the map or the responsiveness of the company.
And just to cap the whole thing off, when UPS delivered the new map, we watched them deliver it to our neighbor, while we got the package meant for them. After UPS left, I quickly went over and exchanged the packages.
Thank you Ramble.
Tennessee Map
I am super impressed with this map - especially the mounting. It comes ready to hang - completely. I am ready to order my next one - you cant go wrong. These maps work as detailed and informative map, and at a distance as a piece of art.
Adirondack Great Range Map
This was a gift for my son as we had hiked this range many years ago. The simplicity of presentation, clarity and craftsmanship are top notch. He was impressed. Thank you!
Eye Catcher
Our map is definitely an eye-catcher in our home. I have it hanging on a wall at eye level in the living room near a corner that leads to bedrooms and bathrooms. It's a great spot for this map in terms of traffic and light. I opted for the wood-mounted map, but I think the aluminum or acrylic would also be great looking in our contemporary style home. We gave the same map to our map-loving friend for Christmas because he loves ours so much.
Absolutely beautiful
My husband LOVES maps, and when I finally got to see this opened on Christmas, I was surprised by the detail. We got the resin-covered one, and it's just gorgeous. He's already looking at other ranges to buy. :)
Great Product!
We gave this as a gift to avid skiers and residents of Little Cottonwood Canyon and they absolutely loved it. Will certainly buy more of these unique distinctive maps in the future.
Home Office Capstone
My Ramble USA map was a great finishing touch to my renovated home office. It blends great with my black and gray highlights desk and gray herringbone sofa. People's eyes go straight for the map. And the questions come rapid fire. I know some of the answers and wing the rest. Ramble On!
Love it
Artfully packed, as beautiful as expected, with solid hanging bracket attached. It calls for a prominent wall with good flood lighting.
Stunning
This map is so amazing. The contours are so detailed and vary with the light. It’s almost alive looking. My husband has been hiking the 48 peaks over 4000’, so I gave this to him for a gift. He loves it!
Quality is Extremely Professional
I love the presentation and the quality of it. My first reaction was, "Wow!" As a photographer I know it's hard to see a sample online and then grasp how it translates to the finished printed product, but the quality of the print is extremely professional. I was also blown away by how sturdy the mounting was and there's nothing flimsy or low quality about it. When I explained it to my wife before hand she thought it sounded like a cool print, but then in person she was likewise very surprised with the quality.
The detail is every bit as impressive printed as it was in the image files online. You can even make out individual tree species in the beaver ponds south of Mount Mansfield in the print I got. The resolution has to be extremely high to get the level of detail shown and the shading makes it easy to see even very small terrain changes. The detail in the forest is the best part though, with the color showing even different stands of trees that vary in short distances.
The quality is very high. Crisp lines on everything, nothing even close to blurry or smeared borders. The wood mounting is solid! That is one heck of sturdy mount. Gives it a nice 2-3 inch barrier from wall as well.
Mt Mansfield looks as good as it always does. It is front and center in the image, showing all the drainages that cascade down off the ridgeline, along with the ski trails. Almost looks like a straight satellite image with how detailed it is.
Some of the drainages flow slightly differently than I thought in person. It's a very cool way to visualize how water moves down the flanks of Vermont's highest peak.
Mansfield is a special place to me, so it's great to be able to see it in this new medium on a daily basis in my living room.
Mad River Valley Map
Purchased for my son who grew up skiing in the Mad River Valley. He loves it.
I so appreciate your excellent customer service in replacing the original map that arrived damaged during shipping.
CRBM
It was stunning when we unwrapped it. I just wished I could have afforded a bigger version so the detail was larger. But it is wonderful and she is totally happy with the incredible piece of art. She says it’s perfect for her office!!
Best gift this year!
This was such a fun and unique gift this Christmas. Already shopping for the next map to start our collection.
Thank you!
Striking
The high resolution and contrast of this image is both aesthetically and intellectually pleasing to behold.
Sweet Map!
Our map looks great! My wife was surprised and loves it!
Gorgeous Grand Canyon Map
This image is beautiful and allows for accurate visual assessment of the terrain in the Grand Canyon area. I purchased this as a gift for my geologist husband who is one of the primary geologic mappers of this incredible terrain. Needless to say, this beautiful, ready to hang map is right over his desk as a daily inspiration. Though many lift their eyes to the 'hills from whence cometh their strength'--- some look to canyons! What's YOUR place??!!
Custom Tahoe Map
Map is fantastic, I made a special request to have it mounted horizontally and the team at Ramble made it happen. Thank you for your help!
Great Service
Been meaning to write this review for a while. I ordered a map for a buddy that climbed Denali, but it never showed up. Matt at Ramble was awesome. He answered my email within minutes, contacted Fedex and (in the end) made sure my buddy got his Xmas present.
My buddy very, very happy with the map and I was really happy with the service.
Amazon would have screwed me. And Matt took care of everything.
Support small businesses! They care about their customers!
Excellent
Recipient loved the gift. These maps are incredibly detailed. Beautifully mounted.
Beautiful!
The level of detail is amazing.
Idaho
Superbly detailed map of one of my favorite states. I can make out exact locations that I am familiar with. Nice to add to my Ramble collection.
Amazing Detail!
Very nice maps with great detail. Now I need to buy one for myself.
Aesthetically pleasing detail
State map offers detailed geographical resolution, in the acrylic version
Utah Aluminum
Beautiful map. Superb detail of topography. I'm collecting all of my favorite states.
Just as advertised. Couldn't be more pleased!
This is one of those times when the product as advertised is exactly the product as delivered. The map looks great on my study wall and I love just looking at it.
Glacier Peak - beautiful!
Given as a gift, the Glacier Peak map is simply beautiful. The resolution and sharp detail draw your eye!
Customer service was exceptional.
Top Notch!
The map looked just as expected from photos online, but was also packaged impeccably for transport. I was so impressed that this unframed artwork shipped flat and very well protected from any potential shipping mishaps. Great company and unique product - thank you!
The Perfect Gift!
I am beyond thrilled with the Ramble Map I purchased for my husband! The area of the map I purchased was particularly sentimental for our family and I couldn’t be more blown away by the quality and craftsmanship!
Also, Ramble Maps has the BEST customer service I’ve ever come across!!! Thank you Ramble Maps! I look forward to my next purchase from your wonderful company!
Attention to detail
The print on aluminum looks great. The mounting option is great as well, as it provides depth from the wall. Print is super high gloss, so it almost appears glass-like.
Product was ordered, created, and shipped in an extremely efficient manner. I will consider purchasing the Adams print in the future.
Beautiful and one of a kind
My brother got me this map to celebrate my completion of the Colorado trail earlier this year. The details are stunning; I feel like I could look at it for hours. He got the kind printed on metal and it is really striking. I have it hanging up behind me in my office so everyone sees it while I'm on zoom--I love showing it off.
Maine Map Aluminum
Very clear, requires good lighting, and has a reflective look to it, so no direct light, but a well lit room.
It will brighten up any wall and attract onlookers, tell them not to touch, easy to hang too.
Stunning
Fantastic and stunning 40x30 California map on metal. It is beautiful and an inspiration to this California backpacker.
Best Zoom Background Ever!
We absolutely love our Cascade Range Ramble map. It looks beautiful up on the wall in our office.
After living in the PNW for 5 years, it's such an incredible daily reminder of all our favorite mountains and adventures. The spine of the Cascades is so well articulated and we love that each of the volcanoes pops out at you. They are all so uniquely shaped and this map shows them to perfection.
The map is incredible
The level of detail lets you pick out lines, landmarks and features that you ski or hike on. I have even discovered back-county lines from looking at it.
It's more than a map though, its a beautiful piece of art that really stands out (literally and figuratively) from all my other art. I have gotten tons of 'Whoa! Is that Stowe!? That's awesome! Oh look, there's (fill in trail, line, feature here).' from people seeing it for the first time.
Favorite piece of art I own
I often find myself just staring at my map of Mt. mansfield, blown away by the detail on this beautiful piece of art. I can't wait to have a house full of Ramble Maps reminding me of my favorite places on earth. Well done.
Mt. Adams
LOVE IT! Brings me right back to the two successful summits I've done on this mountain and makes me realize how big an accomplishment it was.
Amazing
We find ourselves looking at this all the time. We can’t actually tell where things are cause there are no roads or landmarks. We are buying them for every house we have in each state!
CO River Basin
Love it, it looks great in my home, I never get tired of looking at it!
Georgia Elevation Map
Love it - great conversation piece for my office!
Love it. Very cool.
Outstanding. Love it. Thanks!
Beautiful and Thought Provoking
So much incredible detail you can truly stare at it for hours. Everyone who walks into our house always comments on our ramble and asks where we got it. Customer service was also great with any questions I had on specific maps and the different printing options they offer. Excited for a great ski season exploring our local mountains!
Love it!
Lake Champlain Valley - Modified
Beautiful map as are all the Ramble maps. Like the modified version I got which shows the immediate lake area detail better. Thanks much.
Generally very pleased
Beautiful and practical. As a backcountry skier, I really appreciate having the trail networks on this map. Its makes it easier to to decipher location relativity. It would be really cool if it came with a digital file showing topographic lines as well. Then you could really locate off trail areas with precision (exact elevation is missing from the map but I understand why, as it would likely detract from the aesthetic value).Two things of note regarding the trails on the map.1. Oddly the Long Trail, and the Catamount Trail are abruptly cut off about 8 and 5 inches respectively from the left side edge of the map. Not sure if this is just on mine or is the case on all. Either way, it is the only point of contention that I have with an otherwise excellent piece of art.
2. The CHNSA trails that stretch up into the saddle between Bald Hill and Crows Foot are not 100% accurate. The map shows a straight trail and a switchback trail. There is only a switchback trail for part of this stretch. minor detail - far less noticeable. And to be fair, that area has seen some noticeable changes in recent years.
Miss. Map
The map looks very nice. I was really impressed with the detail and wood placement of the map. The process of shipping and steps taken to protect the package was very impressive as well. Very pleased and satisfied in Madison Mississippi.
Great
The only problem I had was one corner was bent. Probably during shipping. It is hung and looks great.
Note from Ramble:
We will gladly replace any map damaged during shipment.
Love this piece
For our new home in Sun Valley, I ordered the Idaho map. My husband loves it and I know our guests will appreciate seeing the geography of this beautiful state.
Incredible service
After I left a review about a bent map, they reached out to me and offered to send a replacement. They did not even require that I send the existing map back! I can't help but be amazed at this.
Thank you, Matt!
Love the map; choose the material carefully
I have the 40" x 30" Acrylic, which is great, though I wish I had paid more attention to the materials page that warns about reflections. Now that I have it installed the reflections of my light fixtures are stronger than I was expecting. Still looks great though.
New York Map
Love it overall. Wish some of the lakes stood out more (darker/more contrast).
Some Recommendations
I would prefer that the west side of the state not be shaded as dark as it is. Also, I live just north of the California border (in Oregon), and would prefer that that border area not be shaded dark, or at least not as dark as it is.
perfect addition to our mudroom
we had a big, blank wall in our mudroom, and we were looking for something make it more appealing. we wanted something that would fill the space nicely, but also have some meaning. you can see mt mansfield from our house, and we like to go there to hike and ski, so a ramble map fit the bill perfectly! we got the metal framing, and it's amazing. you can stare at the details for hours!
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful but bent corner
The map is beautiful. I got the largest size. Unfortunately the bottom left corner arrived bent, which mars the otherwise perfect map. It’s too much trouble after Christmas and everything 2020 to send back or spend the energy to fix. Trying to bend it back myself will likely make it worse. So, 5 stars for a beautiful map, 1 star for damaged product.
Note from Ramble:
We replaced Phyllis' map after learning about the damage. We will replace any map damaged during shipment, just email us at hello@ramblemaps.com to let us know and we'll take care of the rest.
Very nice
Vermont
I have not seen this in person. It appears to be more detailed than your Michigan map.
I give it a low rating, only because I was so disappointed in the Michigan one. And, I probably should have ordered one Sugarbush map and one VT map.
C'est la vie.
I doubt I'll order any more
Michigan
I was disappointed. I never saw it, because it had not been posted at the time I decided to purchase it. It is certainly high quality, but barely any detail - which I had assumed would be there.
Sorry.
I have not seen the VT map, not until XMas at my daughter's. The Sugarbush map I probably should have gotten for my son.
It's a lot of fun to get up close and spend time taking it all in, identifying known landmarks, and wondering about the spaces between.

Choosing A Material
Face Mounted Acrylic
This option maximizes contrast and detail, resulting in a stunning image that catches the light as you move around it.
The map is printed on metallic photographic paper and then 1/4" of acrylic glass is mounted to the front of it. It is our highest quality option.
Aluminum
The aluminum map looks sleek, smooth, and modern. It has a high-gloss surface, which gives it deep colors, high contrast, and vibrancy. Under good lighting, this map is truly eye-catching.
This option is light weight and has a lower price than acrylic, at a slightly lower resolution.
Wood Mounted
The wood mounted map has a rustic, understated, and classy feel to it.
This option looks great in the widest range of lighting setups. It feels the most natural and physical of all of the options. The wood mounted map has a matte finish, so it reflects less light than the other options.
