"I couldn't be happier with the topographical map I purchased for my husband--highly recommend one if you're looking for a five-year wedding anniversary gift (wood). It's clear that a lot of care went into the piece itself, its framing and packaging for shipment. Thank you so much!"

Allegheny Cemetery Cork Topographic Map

$150

Allegheny Cemetery is one of Pittsburgh’s largest green spaces. As a historic rural cemetery, the landscape features rolling hills and many wooded areas to encourage a connection to nature despite its location within the city of Pittsburgh. It’s a non-sectarian burial ground and home to the remains of recognizable Pittsburgh names like Biddle, Roup, and Negley.

This unique cork topographic map is made of layers of cork cut and stacked to reveal the terrain of the landscape. It’s attached to an 8″x10″ frame so it can be hung on the wall or displayed on a tabletop.

"When Emily opened her gift Christmas Eve, she cried. She spent the first half of a family party showing each of her relatives and they all exclaimed over it. It was a hit for sure."

"Their products made great gifts AND teaching aids!! They made a custom mini mountain for me to gift my boyfriend last year for Christmas. He was thrilled to have a mini mountain of his favorite hike in Colorado! This week I had been teaching contour lines and topographic maps in my classroom I was able to use the mini mountain as a teaching aid! Students were able to hold the mountain in the palm of their hand and truly get a deeper understanding on topographical maps and the use of contour lines! Highly recommend!!"
