National Geographic World Wall Map - Executive

Since 1922, National Geographic has been a leader in the art and science of mapmaking. The unique cartographic style, defined by its beautiful color palettes, proprietary typefaces, and hand-drawn shaded relief, sets National Geographic apart from other mapmakers. Each World Map is carefully compiled based on the latest data sources and independent verification of disputed boundaries, borders, and territories, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.

The World Maps are available in various formats, including high-quality matte poster stock printed in the USA, as well as plastic gloss lamination for increased durability. They come in different sizes, from the standard 24" x 36" to the mural size of approximately 77" x 110", which comes as three panels that mount using wallpaper glue.

National Geographic offers four distinctive styles of World Maps. The Classic style features a traditional design with blue oceans and brightly-colored tint bands along country borders. The Executive style, perfect for home and office décor, features an antique, earth-tone color palette and bathymetric shading of underwater terrain. The Decorator style is bright and perfect for kids’ bedrooms or classrooms, featuring solid colors filling each country and pale blue oceans with bathymetric shaded relief. The Modern style is minimalist, presenting the Earth’s land mass in solid black on top of slate blue/gray oceans.

All maps are presented in the Winkel Tripel projection, which minimizes distortion and creates a very recognizable shape of the Earth. The Modern style, however, uses the Times projection, which features minimal distortion in the equatorial regions of the Earth. National Geographic offers the best line of World Maps currently available, combining detail, accuracy, and great design.
