Relief Exaggeration and Beauty

I rendered some of the historical maps of Georgia and its regions in 3D. There are British, French, German, US and Soviet-made vintage and topographic maps that look stunning with an exaggerated relief, clouds and lighting source.

German Map of the Caucasus, 1872
British Map of the Caucasus, 1900
US Topo Eastern Georgia, 1968
US Topo Western Georgia, 1980
