A great map is as much a reflection of its time in history as it is beautifully crafted. This world map accomplishes both. Stunning colors, detailed geographical information, and timely insets make this a classic map for any history buff. A perfect companion to the World maps published in 1943 and 1951. The 1970 World map features: • Classic National Geographic cartography and detail, with vivid country borders • Thousands of place names, including country capitals • Insets for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres • An inset map showing the United Nations countries • Insets for vegetation and land use, population density, and world time zones • Airports, canals, depth curves and soundings in fathoms, elevations, prevailing winds, ocean currents, channel depths for principal ports, and manned space flight tracking stations • Map notes embellish this classic to make it a perfect reference for its time.
