The Dividing Link, Mexico and Central America Wall Map - Published 2007 by National Geographic

When the sweeping tail of the North American continent became a land bridge to South America three million years ago, it changed the world. An ocean that had once flowed freely was now divided into the Atlantic and the Pacific. Its effect on ocean currents influenced the world's climate, and the land bridge became a biological connector as well, as species that had developed in isolation began to travel between continents. This detailed physical map of Mexico and Central America includes three maps that track the region's birth before the final pieces of the geologic jigsaw puzzle completed the land bridge. Published in August 2007, this map was half of a two-map set with a political map of Mexico and Central America. 

The map can be printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing, as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks, making it highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of the printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is with wooden hang rollers attached to the top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord so that you can hang it from a hook on the wall. The hang rails are lacquered in a natural timber colour. 

Note: Please allow ten working days for delivery of hang-railed maps, as our framer needs to attach them.
