World Political National Geographic 1540 x 1020mm (Africa Centred) Large Laminated Wall Map with Hang Rails

The World map by the National Geographic Society is a current political map that shows our world in traditional blue colours. The maps' astounding detail and quality make this map an excellent reference tool for either the home, office or classroom.

Unlike other political maps the country boarders are shown by use of a heavy coloured die line and the interior of the country is shown in white, making it easier to read the place names and information. Mountain ranges are shown in great detail through the use of shaded relief and the map also focuses on showing ocean depths and currents in greater detail than on any other World map.

The sheer amount of information on this map is impressive, there are smaller maps in the bottom corners showing population density, vegetation and land uses.

The high-quality laminate in which the map is encapsulated allows you to draw on or to apply map dots to locations of interest without permanently marking the map. The lamination also makes the map very durable protecting against tears and stains as well as acting as a UV filter.

The easiest way to hang your map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hang cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook in the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

The map uses the Winkel tripel projection to reduce distortion of land masses as they near the poles.

Size 1540 mm (w) x 1020 mm (h)

Note: Please allow 10 working days for delivery as hang rails need to be attached by our framer.
