One way to escape the technology doom scroll is to enjoy time in the great outdoors. Put away your devices, breath in the fresh air. However, it isn’t always possible to get away from screen time. The next best thing is to be reminded of the vast, wild outdoors on the same screen we cannot seem to escape.
These topography wallpapers for iPhone are a visual reminder that we could be out walking in the wilderness.
Topography wallpapers for iPhone

I have always been fascinated by topographic maps since encountering them in grade school. The hard lined design caused by the natural flowing landscape makes for an incredible juxtaposition. Adding color to the overall experience makes for a great wallpaper!

My favorite of this group is listed first, in purple. I’m not sure what has me going on about purple, but since nabbing the M1 iMac a few years ago in purple and then iPhone 14 Pro Max in the same color way it is my preferred hue for just about everything. Consequently, this purple topography wallpaper really stood out for me.
