We love the map! It’s hanging in our dining room. Our daughter is in Ghana and we want to be able to show visitors where in Africa she lives!

Africa Political Classroom Wall Map
Fifty-four countries, dozens of border changes since independence, and most students cannot place ten of them. This Africa political classroom wall map from Kappa Map Group gives grades 9 through 12 a single reference big enough for the whole room to read from their desks, with each country color coded so boundaries separate at a glance.
Part of Kappa’s Advanced Political Wall Map series, it pairs political detail with terrain, so shaded relief gives the Sahara, the Congo Basin and the Ethiopian Highlands real shape behind the borders.
On the map:
- Country boundaries, national capitals and major cities
- Latitude and longitude lines with major latitudes emphasized, useful for climate and time zone lessons
- Shaded relief and physical features
- Four thematic insets: population density, annual rainfall, climate, and energy, manufacturing and trade
Available in paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, railed, framed, or as a spring roller with backboard for high school geography rooms, AP Human Geography classes and home school walls. Map Shop finishes each one to order.

Map Finishing Options
Transform your wall map into a ready-to-hang centerpiece! Our professional framing and railing services often cost less than visiting a local framer. Choose your finishing option during checkout and receive your map ready to display immediately and hassle-free.
Paper
Paper finishing is the most economical option. Most maps are printed on premium 36lb paper. Waterproof paper is also available for functional maps that may be used outdoors.
Laminated
Maps are printed, then run through our laminator that applies 1.7mil-thick satin-gloss lamination to the front and back. You can use map stickers and wet-erase markers.
Mounted
Maps are printed, then laminated with 1.7mil-thick satin lamination onto 1/4″-thick foam core. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers with our mounted maps.
Laminated with Rails
First, we laminate the map, then mount wood rails at the top and bottom. The front side of each rail features a black or walnut finish, while the sides and back are unfinished wood. Sawtooth hardware is attached to the back of the top rail so it's ready to hang. You can use stickers or wet-erase markers on your laminated map. We recommend a mounted or framed option if you'd like to use map pins to mark locations.
Mounted with Rails
First, we laminate the map onto foam core, then mount wood rails at the top and bottom. The front side of each rail features a black or walnut finish, while the sides and back are unfinished wood. Sawtooth hardware is attached to the back of the top rail so it's ready to hang. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on your map. This option will lay clean and flat against the wall, unlike the laminated with rails option.
Framed
Maps are laminated onto foam core, then secured into the frame. The engineered molding is made from recycled wood in either a black or walnut finish that wraps around the entire map. Most moldings are 2″ wide by 3/4″ deep, but maps 24″ x 36″ and smaller use a 1.25″ wide molding. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers on all our framed maps. Ready-to-hang sawtooth hardware or wire hanging loops are included.
