Anyone who grew up in the Ohio River Valley or the Great Lakes states knows this region carries some serious American history. Lincoln was born in Kentucky. The Wright brothers built their first plane in Dayton. John Glenn and Neil Armstrong came out of Ohio.
This 1977 National Geographic map covers all four states in one regional view, drawn in the classic National Geographic cartographic style of that era. It works as a gift for a Midwest native, a study or office decor piece, or a conversation starter for anyone with roots in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky.
Map Shop reproduces this print from a high-resolution scan of the original, with finishing options from paper to framed. Pair it with the companion piece from the same series covering Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi for a wider Southeast-to-Midwest display.
