National Geographic makes US maps in several styles and this is one of our most popular options. The Classic-style United States map uses a bright, easy to read color palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. All 50 States are featured along with insets for Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, an inset demonstrating the relative size of Alaska. All major cities, transportation routes, State boundaries, National Parks, inland waterways, and mountain ranges are clearly displayed and labeled. It is truly an iconic map that never goes out of style. Make sure and check out the matching World Classic map, they look great on the wall together.

We offer several sizes this map, from a smaller 36” x 24” to larger versions at 43.5” x 30.5” and the huge 69.25” x 48” version. Smaller poster-sized maps make a perfect addition to any sized space. They are specially designed to maximize content in a smaller footprint than standard wall maps and fit precisely into precut poster sized frames which makes finishing and hanging them a breeze. The 43.5” x 30.5” map is made to hold a whole wall on its own. The size is great for placement above furniture to add practical reference and class to your space. Both our Martin Mount and Framed finishing options are suggested at this size. The huge mural-sized 69.25” x 48” is meant to be a statement piece in your larger spaces. It’s guaranteed to make a dramatic impact on your guests.

Finishing Options

Most wall maps are offered in a variety of finishing options. If you need a map that’s ready to hang on the wall, we can frame or martin mount your map to save you time and money. Here are the details, contact us with questions.

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

Paper maps are printed then run through our laminator that secures 1.7mil-thick satin-gloss-finished lamination on the front and back. Use map stickers and wet-erase markers on your map.

mounted

Paper maps are printed then laminated with 1.7mil-thick satin lamination onto 1/4″-thick foamcore. You can use map pins, stickers, or wet-erase markers with our mounted maps.

Rails

First, we laminate the map then we mount wood rails at the top and bottom of the map. The front side of each rail is finished with a black or walnut finish. The sides and back are unfinished. Sawtooth hardware is fixed to the back of the top rail, so it’s ready to hang. Use stickers or wet-erase markers on your map.
