Pacific Ocean — National Geographic Wall Map (1936)
The world’s largest ocean, rendered with quiet power. Published in 1936, this sweeping Pacific Ocean wall map blends ocean bathymetry, reef-laced archipelagos, and coastal relief to reveal the blue architecture of the basin—trenches, ridges, shelves, and island arcs set in crisp, legible cartography. A timeless sheet made to command a wall and reward close study.
More Than a Map – A Testament to a Blue Planet
This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding currents, landforms, and distances across the Pacific realm. From the Ring of Fire to far-flung atolls, clear symbology and balanced labeling keep detail readable without clutter. Ideal for educators, sailors, divers, travelers, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other National Geographic ocean and regional maps.
Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
