A model of the square you picked on the map, made to order in our Peoria, Arizona workshop and set in a black frame. Streets, buildings, parks, trees, water and the shape of the land all stand out in relief.

• The Neighborhood: 8 in square with the frame, covering about 0.6 mi on each side. $75.
• The District: 10 in square with the frame, covering about 0.8 mi on each side. $100.

About 1:5,500. One inch on the model is about 460 feet on the ground.

Yes. In the map, slide the zoom up to 2x to cover a smaller area shown larger, so individual buildings and street layouts stand out. At 2x, one inch is about 230 feet. The model, frame and price stay the same. Landscape models can zoom out to 0.5x to fit a whole canyon or mountain range, or in up to 3x.

Four colors on the map: sand beige ground, ivory white buildings, roads and bridges, green parks, grass and trees, and light blue water. The frame is black. Colors aren't customizable yet.

Models are built from open map and elevation data, mostly OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps. Coverage varies from place to place: not every building is mapped, and a recent build may be missing. Very small details, like sheds, are too small to show at this scale.

If it arrives damaged or has a defect, email contact@blockandridge.com within 7 days of delivery with photos of the model and the box, and we'll make you a new one and ship it free, or refund you.

It stands on a desk or shelf. [To be confirmed: whether the frame can hang on a wall]

Dust it with a soft, dry brush or a puff of air. Keep it out of hot cars and strong direct sun, which can soften or fade the plastic over time.
