A stunning view of the United States on its bicentennial anniversary! This landmark map is the first color satellite photomosaic of the 48 contiguous states, published in July 1976 to accompany many articles reflecting on America's past and looking to its future.

The near-true color imagery creates a portrait of the patchwork quilt of the entire country. Trace the Mississipi river from its source to the Gulf of Mexico. See the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona and Califormia. Follow the Rocky Mountains through the western states, and consider how the make-up of the land helped mold the country that the United States is today.

A cartographic benchmark, this map laid the groundwork for the many maps using satellite imaging that followed. The dark, neutral colors will offer a sharp and attractive contrast to any brightly-colored room, and the geological significance of this map makes it a wonderful addition to any geographer's collection.

Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.

Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
