The primary version of Kappa Map Group’s New York thematic classroom map is pitched at younger grades, keeping the same clean political and physical base but trading heavy data insets for foundational state facts. Students see hypsometric coloring, county boundaries, county seats, interstate highways, cities and towns, and the state’s regions, all correlated with state standards and curriculum guidelines.
Where the intermediate edition adds timelines and demographic insets, this one focuses on the basics an early-grade class needs:
- The state capital, Albany, and other major cities
- An elevation profile of the state’s terrain
- State symbols, including the flag, seal and motto, and the state tree, flower, and bird
It serves as a natural first New York map for elementary classrooms in public, private, parochial, and home schools. It ships on a spring roller with backboard, with paper and laminated finishes also available, each produced to order by Map Shop.
