Small, colourful political map (81.5 x 51cm / 32" x 20" approx.) with the NGS’s usual presentation of the world within an oval frame providing an alternative to the more traditional wall maps. Countries are in dark colours, contrasted against light blue oceans.

The map has relief shading and gives names of some mountain ranges, deserts, rivers, etc., with peak heights shown in feet. In USA, Canada and Australia internal administrative boundaries and names of states/provinces are shown, (within the US most are abbreviated).

Clocks show time difference from GMT (but without the map indicating the exact geographical area covered by each time zone). Panels list the world’s largest 15 countries by area (in square miles) and population, as well as 15 largest urban conurbations by population. Projection is Winkel Tripel, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles.

This map is also available encapsulated.

    Very clear, nice colours and lots of detail; but pity it is printed on thin paper which feels it could crease or rip easily. For the price I would have expected something more durable.
