North America Wall Map - Published 1964 by National Geographic

At the time of this map's creation, the United States had imposed a diplomatic and commercial embargo on communist Cuba as Cold War tensions between the United States and the USSR grew. The signs of this tension are evident in the distant early warning lines, missile tracking stations, and missile ranges shown on this detailed map of the North American continent, published in April 1964.

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.
