Overview
National Geographic's World Executive Political Standard Map presents the world's relief in handsome earth-toned hues. The political divisions of the landmasses are bordered by bold colors that are placed against the ocean's underwater fractures, ridges and seamounts. The North and South Polar Regions are shown on individual insets in the top corners of the political map, while two insets at the bottom corners illustrate world densities and land/vegetation use. The World Executive Political Standard Map is an essential addition to the home, school, store or office. The lamination keeps the map's geography in top quality for years to come.
National Geographic
National Geographic is regarded as one of the world's foremost authorities on geography. For almost a century, the society has been making political, physical and thematic maps with great cartographic merit. The society uses modern digital mapping techniques to enhance the geography of these high quality cartographic charts. Since 1998, National Geographic has officially switched over to the Winkel Tripel Map Projection to try to mitigate the spatial distortion inherent to maps. The National Geographic organization aims to craft products that "inspire people to care about and explore the world" through extensive research of the planet's relief and upholding a rigorous standard of cartographic excellence. The society's passion for accuracy in portraying the world has helped maintain their first-rate status as one of the best resources for geographic concerns.
