National Geographic World Executive Map, Mural, 110in x 76.5in

Expertly researched and designed, National Geographics World Wall Map is the authoritative map of the world by which other reference maps are measured. Antique-style “executive” color palette.

• Background shows mountain ranges and valleys in subtle shaded relief with mountain ranges labeled.
• Major water bodies including rivers, lakes, glaciers, oceans, seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and bathymetry.
• Clearly defined international boundaries, cities, islands, airports, and physical features.
• Thousands of place names carefully and artfully placed to maintain legibility in heavily populated areas.
• Up-to-date international boundaries and territorial control reflect de facto status on the ground.
• Meticulously researched using multiple authoritative sources including the U.N., U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and policies of individual governments.
• Accurate place names use a combination of conventional English names, official national names, and standard transliterations for non-Latin alphabets.
• Drawn in Winkel Tripel projection with distortions minimized unlike other World maps (e.g. Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina, not South America).
• Corner inset maps feature vegetation, land use, population density, and north and south polar regions.
• Mural maps are printed on a tear-resistant, coated paper for strength, color protection, and long life.
• The coating resists dirt and dust and may be cleaned with a slightly dampened cloth.
• The mural can be hung using heavy duty (clay based) wallpaper paste.
• Measures 110in x 76.5in.
