World Explorer Wall Map 32 x 20 - Laminated
Expertly researched and designed, National Geographic's World Wall Map is the authoritative map of the world by which other reference maps are measured.
Product Features:
- Colorful Explorer style map with vibrant color palette that fills each country for easy identification
- Background shows mountain ranges and valleys in subtle shaded relief with mountain ranges labeled
- Major water bodies including rivers, lakes, glaciers, oceans, seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and bathymetry
- Clearly defined international boundaries, cities, islands, airports, and physical features
- Thousands of place names carefully and artfully placed to maintain legibility in heavily populated areas
- Up-to-date international boundaries and territorial control reflect de facto status on the ground
- Meticulously researched using multiple authoritative sources including the U.N., U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and policies of individual governments.
- Accurate place names use a combination of conventional English names, official national names, and standard transliterations for non-Latin alphabets.
- Drawn in Winkel Tripel projection with distortions minimized unlike other World maps (e.g. Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina, not South America)
- Corner inset charts list the largest cities by population and the largest countries by land mass and population.
National Geographic is a trusted name for maps, and it is exciting for us to offer them in our catalog. The explorer series of wall maps are all the same size - 32" x 20" - but in different scales for the world (1:51,969,000) and the US (1:6,107,000). Easy to use and visually appealing, these make perfect additions to any classroom wall. The world map is done in a Winkel Tripel Projection with the Meridian of Greenwich at the center of the map. All lines of longitude show the differences in time zones. Inset charts on the world map list the world's largest countries by area and population, and the largest urban areas by population. The US map is done in an Albers Conic Equal-Area Projection and includes insets of Alaska and Hawaii at the bottom of the map as well as interstates and major highways. Countries and states on both maps are attractively shaded in hues of green, brown, and purple, and most major cities and airports, lakes, rivers, and mountains are detailed. Maps come in three formats: flat (which are rolled and secured with a rubber band), tubed (a paper map supplied in a plastic storage tube), and laminated. - Zach
