MacVan's in the Springs has a ton of maps. I bought a paper map there, had it mounted, coated (no glass) and then I framed with a frame I made from antique wood...

Framed this laminated map from Raven Maps and put a couple 14er posters next to it. Looks good in the office. Never provides a distraction.

Thanks for this good message! I was wanting a canvas painting....not a map. I might have to do some kind of custom-made canvas map.

Skared's link (wall map at the top) isn't quite a topo since it doesn't show the lines, but it has a lot more info on it than a typical shaded relief. Kent's link has one of the most common shaded reliefs of the state, particularly available at large wall sizes. Neither of them call out 14ers specifically other than if that happens to be a labeled mountain, as is the case with most maps that aren't specifically of the 14er subject variety. Gene's link has a perspective topo relief poster, of which there are a couple of different versions but the base image is probably the most common that calls out all the 14ers. Another site you can take a look at is http://bouldermapgallery.com/catalog/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (I just found through a quick Google search) - they have all of the types mentioned.

Most of these maps are only available as poster prints/paper/. If you want something on canvas, you'll need to find someone who can actually print it that way - either they have an image they can print on whatever media or will print an image you find. I don't know of anywhere that carries these maps on canvas. You could also have your own map custom made so it would show exactly what you want and could be printed on whatever material you want.
