Living on the Edge Wall Map - Published 1995 by National Geographic

There is no escaping the geology on the West Coast of the United States. Earthquakes continually shake California, while volcanoes loom over northern California, Oregon, and Washington. Each of these hazards marks a different kind of tectonic plate boundary — transform faults to the south and subduction zones up north. This map shows the western United States along with all of its known major fault lines and zones.

The map can be printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing, as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks, making it highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of the printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is with wooden hang rollers attached to the top and bottom. The top roller has a hanging cord so that you can hang it from a hook on the wall. The hang rails are lacquered in a natural timber colour. 

Note: Please allow ten working days for delivery of hang-railed maps, as our framer needs to attach them.
