Coasts, Currents & Countries — Central America Wall Map (1973)
A crisp portrait of Central America at mid-century, rendered in classic National Geographic style. Published in 1973 to accompany “Mexico, the City That Founded a Nation,” this sheet pairs beautifully with the Mexico map from the same issue. Fine linework, confident typography, and especially striking Caribbean bathymetry make it as informative up close as it is elegant at a distance.
More Than a Map – A Moment in Time
Not just décor—this is a reference to a region in motion. Borders, cities and towns, coastal forms, and ocean floor relief invite comparison, study, and conversation. Ideal for educators, travelers, historians, designers, and collectors seeking a faithful snapshot of Central America in the early 1970s.
