National Geographic's World and United States maps are the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. The World and United States maps are meticulously researched and adhere to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative source. The signature Classic style maps use a bright, easy to read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. The World Map is drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions are minimized and unlike many other World maps, Greenland is show the same size as Argentina and not as the size of all of South America. Thousands of place names are carefully and artistically placed on the maps to maintain legibility even in the heavily populated areas of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, and population density as well as the north and south polar regions. Poster sized maps make a perfect addition to any sized space. They are specially designed to maximize content in a smaller footprint than standard wall maps and fit precisely into precut poster sized frames which makes finishing and hanging them a breeze. The World and United States Classic Map Pack Includes: World Classic Map [Poster Size] United States Classic Map [Poster Size] These maps are packaged in a two inch diameter clear plastic tube. The tube has a decorative label showing a thumbnail of the maps with dimensions and other pertinent information. All proceeds from the purchase of a National Geographic map help support the Society's vital exploration, conservation, scientific research, and education programs.
