Countries of the World Topographical Wall Map by Raven Maps, 35" x 58"
Raven Maps, Some of the Most Beautiful Maps Available!
Maps must be accurate, but they should also be beautiful. Raven's state wall maps were prepared using base materials originally produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for their definitive 1:250,000-scale topographic map series. These extremely detailed bases identify thousands of features, such as even minor lakes and streams ignored by most maps. Raven Maps brings the USGS materials up to date with current roads and reservoirs. We then go far beyond the originals by adding color tints to depict elevation. The colors progress from greens at lower elevations, through yellows and browns, to grey and finally white at the highest altitudes in the mountainous states. This sequence of color steps replaces the abstraction of contour lines with a graphic picture of elevation and, in combination with the relief shading, of the entire landform.
This beautiful world map is unique in its detail. All of the countries and major cities are labeled, making it an indispensable reference tool.
As you can see in the actual size detail, we've used an extraordinary color palette (186 different colors) to depict the countries. Additional information in the four corners includes the continents, countries, populations, and capital cities.
The addition of population figures makes the map a useful reference tool: the significance of Nigeria is easy to understand when you note that it has nearly twice the population (174 million) as the next largest African country (Ethiopia, with 94 million).
