National Geographic is a trusted name for maps, and it is exciting for us to offer them in our catalog. The explorer series of wall maps are all the same size - 32" x 20" - but in different scales for the world (1:51,969,000) and the US (1:6,107,000). Easy to use and visually appealing, these make perfect additions to any classroom wall. The world map is done in a Winkel Tripel Projection with the Meridian of Greenwich at the center of the map. All lines of longitude show the differences in time zones. Inset charts on the world map list the world's largest countries by area and population, and the largest urban areas by population. The US map is done in an Albers Conic Equal-Area Projection and includes insets of Alaska and Hawaii at the bottom of the map as well as interstates and major highways. Countries and states on both maps are attractively shaded in hues of green, brown, and purple, and most major cities and airports, lakes, rivers, and mountains are detailed. Maps come in three formats: flat (which are rolled and secured with a rubber band), tubed (a paper map supplied in a plastic storage tube), and laminated. - Zach
