National Geogr.Maps. Exec.World,enl.lam

The world map from National Geographic is the benchmark against which all other reference maps are measured. This world map is meticulously researched and adheres to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative sources.

The executive-style world map features an antique color palette and impressive shading, providing a richness that is perfect for any setting. It is drawn using the Winkel Tripel projection method, which minimizes distortions. Unlike many other world maps, Greenland is represented at the same size as Argentina, rather than the size of all of South America.

Thousands of place names are carefully and artistically placed on the map to ensure readability even in the densely populated areas of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international borders, cities, physical features, rivers, and seabed features. The maps in the corners show vegetation and land use, as well as population density and the northern and southern polar regions.

Enlarged maps provide an immersive experience in any home or office environment. The exceptional cartography is even easier to appreciate in the larger size.
