Terrain facts: Springer Mountain
The ground around Springer Mountain is rugged. Across the 10 by 10 km area of the model, it runs from 497 m up to 1,151 m. That is 654 m of relief, a little shorter than the Burj Khalifa.
- Flat 4.7%
- Gentle 37.1%
- Steep 54.1%
- Very steep 4.2%
On average the ground slopes at 16.9 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 34.5 degrees. About 5% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 58% is steep (over 15 degrees).
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #282 for relief, #285 for highest ground and #144 for steepness (#1 is the most). Compare the places in Hikes, ski mountains and race tracks →
Worked out by Embossify from USGS 3D Elevation Program data at about 39 m per point. The charts stretch the heights to fill the frame, and a single summit can read a little lower than its surveyed height.
Climate: Springer Mountain
The climate around Springer Mountain is mild: over the year the temperature averages about 13°C (55°F), from around 1°C (35°F) in January to around 23°C (73°F) in July. It is wet, with about 1,363 mm (54 in) of precipitation in a year. December is the wettest month and October the driest.

Questions about Springer Mountain, Georgia
Where is Springer Mountain?
Springer Mountain is in Georgia, USA at 34.6268, -84.1938. The model covers a 10 by 10 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Springer Mountain model?
The land in this model runs from 497 to 1,151 m (654 m of relief), and its highest point is at 34.6266, -84.1936. These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
How steep is Springer Mountain?
On average the ground slopes at 16.9 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 34.5 degrees. About 5% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 58% is steep (over 15 degrees).
How does Springer Mountain compare with other places?
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #282 for relief, #285 for highest ground and #144 for steepness (#1 is the most). For scale, that relief is a little shorter than the Burj Khalifa.
Can I 3D print Springer Mountain?
Yes. Download the free Standard Resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 24.6 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:66,700. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Springer Mountain model?
It is built from real elevation measurements: the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans at 1 to 10 meters per point. Each point of the grid covers about 39 m on the ground, so a single summit can read a little lower than its surveyed height. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Springer Mountain model free?
The Standard Resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High Resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
How this model is made
Embossify Terra builds Springer Mountain, Georgia from real measured elevation. In the United States the heights come from the USGS 3D Elevation Program, mostly airborne laser scans that resolve every 1 to 10 meters.
The heights are exaggerated 2× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base. New to terrain printing? Read how Terra works.
