One World Map Topographic Wall Map by Raven Maps, 36" x 64"
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.
An example of classical European cartographic style, this map rotates and tilts the globe in three positions to show geographic relationships in a way that no single view can. Our One World Map is a set of three "orthographic" projections: what the earth would look like if you saw it from space, progressively rotated and tilted so that most of the globe is clearly shown
The rivers, mountains, and oceans are the focal point of this elegant world map. It displays all the important geographic features of the earth with very little distortion. Political boundaries are not indicated, but capital cities are included for reference.
