The World map by the National Geographic Society is a current political map that shows our world in traditional blue colours. The maps' astounding detail and quality make this map an excellent reference tool for home, office or classroom.
Unlike other political maps, the country borders are shown by a heavy coloured die line and the interior of the country is shown in white, making it easier to read the place names and information. Mountain ranges are shown in great detail through shaded relief, and the map also focuses on showing ocean depths and currents in greater detail than on any other World map.
The sheer amount of information on this map is impressive; smaller maps in the bottom corners show population density, vegetation, and land uses.
The map comes in traditional hard laminate, making it very durable; you can also use our Mark-It-Dots to show where you have been.
The easiest way to hang your map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook in the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.
The map uses the Winkel tripel projection to reduce distortion of land masses as they near the poles.
