Step into a clear, authoritative, and visually striking representation of the United States with this meticulously designed political wall map from National Geographic’s landmark 11th Edition Atlas of the World. This is not just a map — it is a definitive reference tool and a refined piece of cartographic art, designed to suit both educational environments and high-end display settings.

Every element has been crafted to make the map as functional as it is beautiful — from the bold delineation of state boundaries to the subtle shaded relief that brings the country’s varied landscapes to life. It’s a visual celebration of the United States that works equally well in the classroom, boardroom, or living room.

🌎 A Nation in Clarity & Context

The map showcases all 50 U.S. states, including insets of Alaska and Hawai‘i rendered with the same precision as the mainland. Each state is assigned a distinct, harmonious colour tone for instant recognition without visual clutter.

Major cities, state capitals, transportation networks, National Parks, and key waterways are clearly labelled. The map’s shaded relief technique subtly conveys mountain ranges, plateaus, and river valleys, adding physical context to the political boundaries.

Drawn using the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, this map reduces distortion while preserving the proportional integrity of the continental U.S. This makes it ideal for reference use in education and planning, while still maintaining a pleasing aesthetic for wall display.
