Nations & Narratives — Central America Wall Map (1986)
A vibrant, information-rich portrait of Central America at mid-1980s scale. Published by National Geographic in April 1986, this edition pairs crisp cartography with concise country profiles—summaries of area, population, language, religion, and more—so you can read the region at a glance and then dive deep. It was issued as half of a two-map set with “Central America: Past and Present.”
More Than a Map – A Snapshot of a Region
Beyond borders and coastlines, this sheet puts context front and center. Political boundaries, cities and towns, transport lines, and relief shading sit alongside side-by-side national overviews, making it ideal for educators, travelers, researchers, designers, and collectors who want a faithful record of Central America’s geography and demographics in the late 20th century.
