Attractive 59x92cm wallmap of the American continents, paper version, showing the New World in its entirety, from the North Pole to Cape Horn. The familiar NGS cartography is here: different colours distinguish political boundaries and hill-shading against a white background shows the general relief. Selected peak heights are marked, and generalized bathymetric tinting is applied to the sea areas, with depths marked for shallow banks. Major roads and railways are marked, principal rivers, lakes and highland ranges are named, and glaciers, swamps, salt lakes and deserts are indicated. In Canada and the USA, state boundaries are marked; elsewhere, international boundaries only.

The projection used for this extensive view is the Bipolar Oblique Conic Conformal, with latitude and longitude lines drawn at 10° intervals. There is also a small inset map showing the general physical geography of the same region, at 1:56,600,000.
