National Geographic Physical World Map
This physical world map comes straight from the National Geographic Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, now sold on its own. Landforms lead here, not borders. Shaded relief carries the terrain, and blue oceans reveal the ridges and fracture zones on the seafloor. Geography teachers use it to show students how the planet actually looks, and it reads just as well in a home office or study.
- Published by National Geographic at a scale of 1:53,145,000
- Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, so polar distortion stays low and Greenland reads correctly, closer to the size of Argentina than all of South America
- Shows mountains, deserts, plateaus, ocean ridges and fracture zones as clearly defined features
- Corner insets cover the north and south polar regions
- Bright, legible color palette with the shaded relief style National Geographic has used on wall maps for over 75 years
- Place names positioned for legibility rather than crowded along coastlines
- Suited to classrooms teaching physical geography or environmental themes
- Available from Map Shop on paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, railed, or framed in black or walnut molding
