Peters Projection Map | An Accurate World Wall Map | 36x24 Large Detailed Gall-Peters Projection World Map | Laminated

Description

Gall-Peters Projection or Gall Orthographic - An equal-area map projection that shows countries in the correct sizes relative to each other. It is considered a good alternative to the commonly used Mercator projection which increasingly inflates the sizes of countries the further you move from the equator. This is most noticeably observed with Greenland appearing larger than Africa on a Mercator map despite being 14 times smaller. Highly Detailed - A wide range of cultural and physical features are indicated on the map including: major cities, national capitals, U.S. & Canadian capital cities, rivers, lakes, seas, geologic basins, mountain ranges & peaks, deserts, U.S. state borders and Canadian & Australian provinces as well as latitude/longitude lines. Considerably more detailed than many maps of this size. Each place name label has been positioned meticulously and artistically. Outstanding Shaded Relief - Map's design utilizes the latest 3D rendering techniques for elevation relief to really make terrain look like its rising from the surface of the map. Gorgeous shaded relief detail featured on the map is derived from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) elevation data collected by NASA. Map also features richly textured detail of the ocean floor derived from GEBCO bathymetric data along with labels indicating major ocean floor features. Updated Cartography - The map is up-to-date with all the latest political boundaries and international name changes through 2021, making this among the most up-to-date printed maps available anywhere.
