Boston 3D Map

Hand-finished, framed, and ready to hang.
$29.99

The Downtown Boston waterfront and historic central core as a 3D map, sweeping from Charles River bank east toward the harbor along Atlantic Avenue. Every building is printed at its true relative height, so it rises off the winding street grid and casts real shadows.

  • Prominent features: TD Garden, Faneuil Hall, Custom House Tower, Boston City Hall, Quincy Market, and the clock tower topping One International Place.

  • Crafted for: Special display for New England natives, lifelong local residents, or anyone who moved away but still misses autumn walks through New England.

Edition & Size

Essentials is the classic framed map. Premium steps up to a higher quality frame and a glass pane over the water, adding reflectivity and depth.

Why this one looks different

Every roofline, cleaned by hand

Most 3D maps just stack flat blocks. This one starts from LiDAR, which is laser scanning done from aircraft, and I spend tens of hours per city correcting the detail other maps flatten out.

Real height, real streets

The buildings are printed at their true relative heights, so the tallest towers stand over the rest of the skyline the way they do in life. Streets, parks, and the water sit exactly where they should.

Choose blue or black water to match your room. Premium adds a glass pane over the water that gives the whole city more reflectivity and depth.

What buyers say

Good to know

Common questions

What is the difference between Essentials and Premium?
Essentials is the classic framed map, in an 11 inch or 13 inch modern wood frame. Premium is 13 inch only, with a higher quality frame and a glass pane set over the water that adds reflectivity and depth. The map detail itself is the same in both.
What are the sizes and materials?
Both maps are square. Essentials comes in 11 inch or 13 inch, and Premium is 13 inch. The relief is 3D printed and set in a real wood frame with hanging hardware already installed. The 13 inch is about the size of a vinyl record sleeve, and the 11 inch is a little smaller.
How long until it ships?
Every map is made to order, one at a time. Most orders ship within a few business days, and you get tracking as soon as yours is on its way.
Can I choose the water color?
Yes. Every map comes in blue or black water, so you can match it to your room.
How does it hang?
Hanging hardware is pre-installed on the frame, so it is ready to hang straight out of the box.
Do you make custom cities?
Yes. If your city or a specific area is not in the catalog, I can build almost any city or town in the United States as a custom map. Head to the custom map page to start a request.
What if it arrives damaged?
Message me and I will make it right. Everything ships carefully packed, but if anything is wrong when it arrives, I will replace it.
