Spain and Portugal Wall Map - Published 1965 by National Geographic

Spain & Portugal — National Geographic Wall Map (1965)

Iberia in relief—mountains lifted from the page, coastlines scalloped by depth, capitals set like keystones. Published in March 1965, this detailed Spain & Portugal wall map blends shaded terrain, ocean bathymetry, and capital-city insets into a crisp portrait of the peninsula—made to command a wall and reward close study.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding Iberia’s geography and connections. Ranges and plateaus step down to fishing ports and ferry routes; roads and rails stitch cities to countryside; boundaries, rivers, and coasts are rendered with calm authority. Ideal for educators, travelers, historians, designers, and collectors, and a strong companion to other mid-1960s National Geographic European sheets.

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