Author Description

National Geographic's wall map of New York brings the rich and diverse topography of the state to life in elegant detail. Stunning shaded relief and vibrant colorization distinguishes mountain ranges, forests, valleys, and other physical topography. Prominent peaks, major lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, and other geographic features are highlighted. In addition to hundreds of place names, this map includes the precise locations of cities, major roadways and railways, airports, ski resorts, and national and state parks. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, a 2,180+ mile long public footpath that runs through fourteen eastern states is shown where it passes through New York as well. This striking map would be an attractive addition to any study or office. The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive. Map Scale = 1:750,000 Sheet Size = 40.5" x 30.25"
