United States Political – Atlas of the World, 11th Edition by National Geographic

Price range: $54.99 through $334.99

United States Political Wall Map by National Geographic

This National Geographic map lifts the U.S. plate straight out of the 11th Edition Atlas of the World. State lines, capitals, and major cities carry the map, but shaded relief runs underneath them, so the Rockies, the Appalachians, the Great Basin, and the Mississippi Valley still read as terrain. Place names are set with room to breathe, holding up on a classroom wall from the back row.

  • Drawn in the Albers Conic Equal-Area projection, with two standard parallels that hold distortion down across the lower 48
  • Separate insets for Alaska and Hawai’i
  • Bright political palette with blue oceans and the shaded relief National Geographic has used on wall maps for over 75 years
  • Sourced from the National Geographic Atlas of the World, 11th Edition
  • Available from Map Shop on premium paper, laminated, mounted to foam core, railed in black or walnut molding, or framed

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.

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.
