A Strikingly Unique Political World Map – Hexagon Design, Centred on 165° West
Step into a fresh perspective on the world with the World Political Hexagons Wall Map, a captivating design that replaces traditional land shapes with a seamless mosaic of hexagons. Using the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection centred on 165° West longitude, this modern map maintains accurate landmass proportions while preserving a true sense of direction from its central point.
Published in 2016, this map offers both geographic precision and visual innovation, making it equally suited to educational use, office display, or as a contemporary statement piece in the home.

Equal-Area Projection: The Lambert Azimuthal projection keeps land areas at their true relative sizes, offering accurate geographic representation.
