3-D Wisconsin

When viewed with 3-D glasses, Wisconsin’s land features pop off the page. Brief descriptions of major land forms paint the geologic history that shaped the state; expanded descriptions and photos are online. We’ve field-tested this map on fourth graders and can attest to its appeal. Sizes: 27.5 x 32 inches, 8.5 x 11 inches. Requires red-blue 3-D glasses.
