I saw it once on a lodge in the GWN. Somebody with artistic ability painted the local trail map onto a full sized wall copied from the map. You might be thinking something more along the lines of digital scan, print and frame?

I had (technically my wife got it for me as a present) a 3D relief map made of wood of someplace special. It is really cool and was pretty cheap.

Actually doing this for my wife for Christmas with the maritime charts of the area.

Half the charm is the real map, the other half is of course a nice frame.

I would think you could get maps of the park from public records or from whatever department runs your State parks. Even if you can just get a digital copy, you can have that printed and framed in a good size.

You can get unfolded (rolled) topo maps from USGS.

We have topos covering the entire Santa Barbara area (and back country) framed on a wall in our rental.

When the tenant is out I'll snap a photo and post it.

original antique maps of the area in a frame would be a good consideration

I've been bought original survey maps of my home's locations showing what was there pre construction - something like that from a dealer?

Oh sure. You can buy all kinds of maps and have them framed. I've done it a few times because I love maps. I bet you can find an old map of the same area, not of the existing park, and that would be a great gift as well.

This. I love Italy. On my last trip there, I bought a nice map. It got a little beat up and wrinkled on the trip, but my wife had it very nicely framed for Christmas one year. It's in a very central spot in the living room now and looks beautiful, doesn't seem out of place at all, and gets a lot of comments.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Something like this?
Or this?
Or this?

These are very cool, though this site didn't have Alabama. I'm looking at USGS now.

I always love the framed nautical maps with the depth charts. Have also seen in a local gallery in Alaska where an artist paints a scene from the area on the chart map with the map itself as the backdrop.

We've got a couple of nautical maps of Cape Cod/MV/Nantucket/Georges Bank framed in our house. One of them also has shipping and flight lanes on it.

We also had a huge color copy of one of them made and we used it for our wedding RSVPs - cut up the copy and had the squares mounted on the RSVP, so when we got them back we could put them together like a big jigsaw puzzle.

That's pretty cool

I love maps. We did a trip to the Boundary Waters a few years ago and have a rolled topo of the area framed in barn board hanging over the fire place. We also have framed topos hanging at our cabin.
