Great Lakes U.S. Wall Map
This Great Lakes U.S. wall map covers the American side of the lakes basin, from the Minnesota shore of Lake Superior across Michigan’s two peninsulas to the Lake Erie and Lake Ontario shorelines of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Physical and political detail sit together on one sheet, so students can read state lines and interstate corridors while still taking in the glacial terrain, the Door Peninsula, and the lake bathymetry that shape the region.
The cartography comes straight from National Geographic’s Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, now issued on its own as a wall map. Bright blue water and shaded relief follow the palette National Geographic has used on its wall maps for more than 75 years.
- Drawn at 1:1,803,000 scale in the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, with two standard parallels that minimize area distortion
- Physical and political features on a single sheet: state boundaries, cities, relief shading
- Available on paper, laminated for wet-erase markers and map stickers, mounted to foam core, railed or framed in black or walnut molding
A practical pick for geography and environmental science classrooms, home school walls, and Midwest offices.
