World Executive Map · Nat Geo

Expertly researched and designed, National Geographic's World Wall Map is the authoritative map of the world by which other reference maps are measured.

• Antique-style "executive" colour palette
• Background shows mountain ranges and valleys in subtle shaded relief with mountain ranges labelled
• Major water bodies including rivers, lakes, glaciers, oceans, seas, gulfs, bays, straits, and bathymetry
• Clearly defined international boundaries, cities, islands, airports, and physical features
• Thousands of place names carefully and artfully placed to maintain legibility in heavily populated areas
• Up-to-date international boundaries and territorial control reflect de facto status on the ground
• Meticulously researched using multiple authoritative sources including the U.N., U.S. Board on Geographic Names, and policies of individual governments.
• Accurate place names use a combination of conventional English names, official national names, and standard transliterations for non-Latin alphabets.
• Drawn in Winkel Tripel projection with distortions minimised, unlike other World maps (e.g. Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina, not South America)
• Corner inset maps feature vegetation, land use, population density, and north and south polar regions
