Morton Bay 3D Contour Map
A stunning 3D wooden contour map of the Moreton Bay region. It captures Brisbane and the many islands that make up the Bay (Moreton, Stradbroke and Bribie to name a few!). Follow the contours of the ocean floor and river inlets. Let your imagination run wild as you picture the deep blue and turquoise waters flowing through the channels.
The map depicts detailed bathymetric data (topography of the water). Made from 13 layers of 1.5mm plywood, each layer represents 1.5m - 2m of water depth. Each map will be unique due to the individual grain of the wood. They are all handmade with great care and attention to detail.

Pangea Maps was born out of a love for the water. The vastness and beauty below the water’s surface is what we wanted to capture. Using bathymetric data our 3D maps depict the contours of the ocean floor and reveal those treasured spots where we can surf, dive, swim, sail and play.
“Pangea” was the first supercontinent which, over 300 million years, broke up into the 7 continents we know today. It is the coastlines of these continents that form our saltwater playground and inspire what we do.
We are passionate about protecting the world’s oceans and coastlines. We hope that our maps can help people to connect with their environment by appreciating it from a whole new perspective.
