Exploration, Empire & Exchange — Colonization and Trade in the New World (1977)

An elegant fusion of antique-style cartography and clear historical annotation, this National Geographic wall map charts the great sweep of exploration, trade, and colonization across the Americas. Published in December 1977, it pairs beautifully with its companion poster, “History Salvaged from the Sea,” and accompanied the features “Reach for the New World” and “Who Discovered America? A New Look at an Old Question.” A striking reference and display piece for study, teaching, or conversation.

Ideal for educators, historians, genealogists, designers, and collectors, it frames complex histories—exploration, encounter, and exchange—in one readable, period-styled sheet that rewards both room-distance viewing and close inspection.
