Land of the Maya — National Geographic Wall Map (1989)

Where pyramids rise from jungle and history lives in stone. Published in October 1989, this evocative Land of the Maya wall map highlights national parks and protected areas where the legacy of the great Maya civilization can be explored. An abundance of historical notes pinpoints ancient cities and ceremonial centers, linking geography to culture across the Maya heartland. Issued as half of a two-map set with “The Ancient Maya World,” it’s designed to command a wall and reward close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to the Maya World

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding a civilization that shaped Mesoamerica. Clear symbology guides you to preserved sites and parks, while concise annotations illuminate the rise, reach, and resilience of Maya cities. Ideal for travelers, educators, archaeologists, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other National Geographic titles on ancient cultures and the Americas.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
