I ordered an Appalachian trail map and I used it to track my brother’s hike of the first 1,000 miles of the AT.

Appalachian Trail Wall Map
Roughly 2,200 miles of footpath, from Maine down to Georgia, printed on one tall vertical sheet. That narrow vertical format is what makes this map work: the whole national scenic trail reads top to bottom without breaking across panels. National Geographic produced it in cooperation with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
- An elevation profile running the length of the route, marking the climbs and the low gaps
- A mileage chart with distances between key points along the trail
- National Forests, National Park Service lands, and state forests and parks
- Appalachian Trail information centers and shelters
- Major highways and interstates for road access and shuttle planning
Section hikers use it to plan the next stretch. Finished thru-hikers hang it and mark what they walked. Map Shop offers it on paper, laminated with 1.7 mil satin-gloss film front and back, mounted to quarter-inch foam core for pins, rail-hung in black or walnut, or framed for an outfitter wall or home office.

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.
