1969 National Geographic Moon Map
The 1969 National Geographic moon map arrived in print the same year Apollo 11 landed, and it reads like a briefing for that moment. Published in February 1969, it pairs the familiar National Geographic cartographic style with lunar science as it was understood on the eve of the landing. Both hemispheres are drawn out, near side and far side, surrounded by explanatory illustrations. Map Shop prints it as a reproduction from a high resolution scan of the original.
