National Geographic World Wall Map - Classic

National Geographic World Maps, published by the renowned National Geographic, have set the highest standard for excellence in mapmaking since the release of their first World Map in 1922. National Geographic’s distinct cartographic style is characterized by beautiful color palettes, proprietary typefaces, hand-drawn shaded relief, and meticulously researched content. Their attention to detail and accuracy truly set them apart from other mapmakers.

Each National Geographic World Map is carefully compiled using the latest data sources and undergoes independent verification of disputed boundaries, borders, and territories. The combination of extensive research and great design results in the best line of World Maps currently available.

The maps are available in various formats, including high-quality matte poster stock printed in the USA, and durable plastic gloss laminated versions. They come in sizes ranging from 24" x 36" to approximately 77" x 110", making them suitable for different needs and spaces.

There are four distinctive styles of National Geographic World Maps available, each tailored to different preferences and settings.

The Classic style features a traditional design that has been a staple in National Geographic Magazine's maps for many years. It includes blue oceans with bathymetric contour steps, colorful tint bands along country borders, and hand-drawn shaded relief. This style presents the highest level of detail and is presented in the Winkel Tripel projection for minimal distortion.

The Executive style is a bestseller, combining an antique, earth-tone color palette with up-to-date cartography. It features subdued beige oceans with bathymetric shading and offers the highest level of detail in the Winkel Tripel projection.

The Decorator style is the brightest option, ideal for kids’ bedrooms, classrooms, and spaces in need of a pop of color. Featuring solid colors filling each country and pale blue oceans with bathymetric shaded relief, this style offers the second highest level of detail in the Winkel Tripel projection.

The Modern style is a minimalist option, presenting the Earth’s land mass in solid black on slate blue/gray oceans. It includes country names, borders, and major cities in contrasting white and is compatible with modern home and office décor. This style offers the lowest level of detail in the Times projection, featuring minimal distortion in the equatorial regions of the Earth.
