North America Wall Map - Published 1924 by National Geographic

North America — National Geographic Wall Map (1924)

A continent in relief—mountains lifted, oceans sounded. Published in May 1924, this handsome North America wall map uses hypsometric colour to show elevation and finely graded bathymetry to express ocean depth, while bold state, provincial, and international boundaries anchor political geography at a glance. Inset maps of the Aleutian Islands and the eastern West Indies complete a balanced, room-commanding portrait that rewards close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to a Continent

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding North America’s landforms and coasts in concert with its human borders. From cordilleras and plains to banks, trenches, and island arcs, clear symbology keeps detail legible without sacrificing elegance. Ideal for educators, travelers, designers, historians, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with period National Geographic sheets of the Americas.

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