The Essential Geography of the United States of America (French, English and Spanish Edition)

The success of any map hinges on information: maps with too much detail appear cluttered, repelling readers. And those with sparse detail do not do justice to the cornucopia of features that make our nation such a fascinating place. The Essential Geography of the United States, a wall map by Imus Geographics, strikes the information balance perfectly. Seen from across a room, the first impression is one of pleasing forms and soothing colors the map has a decorative quality that begs you to hang it up. But it is from close range that The Essential Geography really shines. The information that you expect to find is just there: roads, towns, forests, mountains, time zones, states, and much more. Look closely to find these geographic nuggets: historic Route 66 threading through the American heartland, the Deepwater Horizon wreckage in the Gulf of Mexico, and handy lists of city tourist attractions. Imus Geographics has delivered all of this in a carefully researched, meticulously crafted, and clearly labeled map that is so easy on the eyes.
