National Geographic Alps Region Wall Map
The Alps region wall map from National Geographic lifts one mountain system out of the Atlas of the World and gives it a wall of its own. The Alpine arc curves through France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Liechtenstein and Slovenia, and this sheet handles both sides of it: political boundaries and place names over terrain that reads as terrain, with the shaded relief style National Geographic has used on its wall maps for decades.
- Drawn in the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, with two standard parallels chosen to minimize area distortion across the region
- Printed at 1:1,116,000 scale with physical and political detail on the same sheet
- Bright, legible color palette with blue waters and shaded relief showing the ridges, valleys and passes of the range
- Includes a list of the cantons of Switzerland and their capitals
- Type carefully placed so labels stay readable across dense mountain country
A strong pick for geography and environmental science classrooms, home school study walls, and offices where the Alps mean something. Map Shop finishes it as paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, railed in black or walnut molding, or framed.
