Travels of George Washington - Published 1932 by National Geographic

Travels of George Washington — National Geographic Wall Map (1932)

Roads ridden, rivers crossed, a nation in the making. Published in January 1932 in cooperation with the United States Commission for the Celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of George Washington’s Birth, this historical sheet traces the travels of George Washington and frames the young republic’s geography with disciplined, elegant clarity. Inset city plans—Boston, New York, Philadelphia—plus Mount Vernon and Tidewater, Virginia add rich context for close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to History

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a narrative of movement and memory. Clean cartography sets out Washington’s routes, colonial cities, and riverine corridors that bound the early United States together. Ideal for educators, historians, museum curators, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other early American reference maps.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
