Wall Map - Physical Features of North America - Premium Edition | Tom Patterson

From Canada's Arctic islands to the rainforests of Panama, this physical map of North America reveals a mosaic of landscapes: the cordillera running along the entire Pacific coast, evidence of plate tectonics, and the succession of natural environments shaped by latitude and elevation. This new version, completely rebuilt from Natural Earth v6 data with terrain rendered in Eduard, is more accurate and detailed than the first 2021 edition.

More than 6,000 names, elevations in metres: this map was created by Tom Patterson, a retired US National Park Service cartographer and co-creator of the Equal Earth projection, and we print it to order in our Premium Edition collection, close to you: in Germany for Europe, in Canada for North America.
