Utah Intermediate Thematic Wall Map
Kappa Map Group built the Intermediate Thematic series for classroom use, and the Utah edition pairs a political and physical base with a set of teaching layers. Hypsometric coloring and shaded relief carry the elevation story, from the Great Basin in the west, across the Wasatch Front, out to the canyon country of the Colorado Plateau.
The base map includes:
- County boundaries and county seats
- Interstate highways
- Cities and towns
- Named state regions
Surrounding the base are thematic elements: a historical timeline, an elevation profile, state symbols, and insets covering land use, population and ethnic diversity, and average precipitation.
The series is built to correlate with state standards and curriculum guidelines, which matters more for a teacher running a Utah Studies unit than for a general geography class.
Five finishing options are available, from paper through spring roller with backboard for pull-down mounting above a whiteboard.
Public, private, parochial, and homeschool classrooms all use this series.
