National Geographic US Physical Wall Map

The National Geographic US physical map lifts the physical geography plate straight out of the 11th Edition Atlas of the World and puts it on a wall on its own. Elevation carries the page here: the Sierra Nevada, the Colorado Plateau, the Mississippi basin, the Great Basin, and the long ridges of the Appalachians read as landforms rather than labels, rendered in the shaded relief style National Geographic has refined on its wall maps for more than 75 years.

Drawn in the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, using two standard parallels to hold distortion down across the contiguous states
Scale of 1:6,163,000
Separate inset maps for Alaska and Hawai’i
Bright color palette with blue oceans, and place names positioned to stay legible over relief shading
Available on premium 36 lb paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, or finished with black or walnut rails or framing

Geography teachers, home school parents, and curriculum coordinators use it to drill latitude and longitude and to anchor lessons on watersheds and terrain. It reads just as well in a home office or a reception area.

Map Finishing Options

Transform your wall map into a ready-to-hang centerpiece! Our professional framing and railing services often cost less than visiting a local framer. Choose your finishing option during checkout and receive your map ready to display immediately and hassle-free.

High-quality world maps, atlases, globes, and travel accessories available at The Map Shop, your premier source for geographic products and navigation tools.

Paper

Paper finishing is the most economical option. Most maps are printed on premium 36lb paper. Waterproof paper is also available for functional maps that may be used outdoors.

Laminated

Maps are printed, then run through our laminator that applies 1.7mil-thick satin-gloss lamination to the front and back. You can use map stickers and wet-erase markers.

A wide selection of maps, atlases, and travel accessories available online at The Map Shop for all your navigation and exploration needs.

Mounted

Maps are printed, then laminated with 1.7mil-thick satin lamination onto 1/4″-thick foam core. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers with our mounted maps.

High-quality maps and atlases at The Map Shop, offering detailed topographic, road, and travel maps for explorers, hikers, travelers, and map enthusiasts.

Laminated with Rails

First, we laminate the map, then mount wood rails at the top and bottom. The front side of each rail features a black or walnut finish, while the sides and back are unfinished wood. Sawtooth hardware is attached to the back of the top rail so it's ready to hang. You can use stickers or wet-erase markers on your laminated map. We recommend a mounted or framed option if you'd like to use map pins to mark locations.

Detailed world map for educational and navigation purposes, featuring colorful country borders and geographic details, ideal for classrooms, offices, or wall decor.

Vintage world map with detailed cartography and colorful borders, perfect for collectors and map enthusiasts seeking historical and geographical artifacts.

Mounted with Rails

First, we laminate the map onto foam core, then mount wood rails at the top and bottom. The front side of each rail features a black or walnut finish, while the sides and back are unfinished wood. Sawtooth hardware is attached to the back of the top rail so it's ready to hang. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on your map. This option will lay clean and flat against the wall, unlike the laminated with rails option.

Detailed vintage world map by The Map Shop with walnut and black rail accents, ideal for educational or decorative purposes. Perfect for map enthusiasts and collectors seeking quality cartography.

High-quality maps and travel guides available at The Map Shop, perfect for navigation, outdoor adventures, and travel planning.

Framed

Maps are laminated onto foam core, then secured into the frame. The engineered molding is made from recycled wood in either a black or walnut finish that wraps around the entire map. Most moldings are 2″ wide by 3/4″ deep, but maps 24″ x 36″ and smaller use a 1.25″ wide molding. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on all our framed maps. Ready-to-hang sawtooth hardware or wire hanging loops are included.

Spring Roller

The map is laminated then installed on a spring roller and backboard.
