Switzerland, Austria & Northern Italy — National Geographic Wall Map (1965)

Peaks, passes, and storied valleys—Alpine country in crisp relief. Published in 1965 alongside “The Alps: Man’s Own Mountains,” this detailed wall map brings Switzerland, Austria, and Northern Italy into sharp focus with disciplined cartography—made to command a wall and reward close study. A perfect companion to the same-issue relief sheet “The Alps, Europe’s Backbone.”

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding the Alpine world: summits and saddles, lakes and headwaters, and the road and rail corridors that knit together Swiss cantons, Austrian Länder, and Italy’s northern regions. Ideal for educators, travelers, mountaineers, historians, designers, and collectors.

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