More about the National Geographic Decorator Map

Bright colors and rich detail bring the world alive! Enjoy the accuracy and beauty of this world map from the cartographers at National Geographic. Created with the Winkel Tripel projection, this map reduces the distortion of land masses as they near the poles. Insets show world vegetation cover and landforms.

The World Decorator map is an artistic amalgamation of cartography, clarity and vibrant colour palette. The map looks attractive and the broad black border outlining it makes the map look even more appealing. It brings alive the countries of the world with rich detailing and assorted shades. One can even locate clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features on the map.

The World map decor uses the Winkel-Tripel projection, and the National Geographic Society considers it to be the standard projection for maps of the entire world. It minimizes distortions and unlike other world maps, it does not eliminate area, direction or distance distortions; rather tries to minimize the sum of all three. Greenland is shown the same size as Argentina and not as the size of entire South America, and also reduces the distortion of land masses near the poles.

The world map wall decor product is composed on a light colored background and different hues used on the map for different countries help in easy identification of territories and regions. Brilliant shaded relief adds up to make it a piece of cartographic artistry. Place names are carefully placed to maintain legibility even in the densely populated areas like Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Detailed world insets on either corner of the map show data of the world vegetation cover, landforms, population density and the north and south polar regions.
