National Geographic’s World map is the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. The World map is meticulously researched and adheres to National Geographic’s convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative sources.

The signature Classic style 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. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions are minimized and unlike many other World maps, Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina and not as the size of all of South America.

Map Size: Various Sizing Available

Thousands of place names are carefully and artistically placed on the map to maintain legibility even in the heavily populated areas of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, and population density as well as the north and south polar regions.

We offer several sizes on 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 Foam Core with Rails 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.

Please note that the two larger sizes include ocean currents but the smaller size map does not.

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.
