Maryland, Delaware and District of Columbia Wall Map - Published 1927 by National Geographic

Maryland, Delaware & District of Columbia — National Geographic Wall Map (1927)

Capital corridors and Chesapeake shores in classic print. Published in February 1927, this elegant wall map of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia blends clear regional coverage with detailed city insets of Baltimore, Wilmington, and Washington. A charming cartographic touch: the weight of the type used for place names hints at relative population sizes of the era—history you can read at a glance. Designed to command a wall from across the room and reward close study at arm’s length.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding the Mid-Atlantic between the Chesapeake Bay and the nation’s capital. Coastal outlines, rail and road connections, and city insets place communities in their geographic and historical context. Ideal for historians, educators, urbanists, sailors, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other 1920s National Geographic sheets for thematic displays.

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