Africa NGS Executive Wall Map ENCAPSULATED
Africa wall map from the National Geographical Society, 61 x 79cm (2ft x 2ft 7” approx) – encapsulated version, in their executive style designed to present current information in colouring reminiscent of antique maps. The map presents Africa at 1: 14, 244, 000 and coverage includes the whole of the Mediterranean Basin, extending north to London. Islands in the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean are included on a separate inset. The base map has relief shading to show the continent’s topography, with additional graphics indicating deserts, swamps, salt flats, etc. The map shows the names of the main geographic features such as mountain ranges, deserts, peaks etc. Heights are given in metres, except for Kilimanjaro, shown in both metres and feet. In the Congo basin many of the
tributaries are named. Countries are shown in subdued colours against the background of oceans in shades of brown and beige. All place names are in English, except for selected cities such as Cairo, Tripoli or Algiers where the original names are shown first (El Quahira, etc) with the English equivalents in brackets. Where appropriate, administrative, legislative and judicial capital cities are indicated (e.g. Dar Es Salam/Dodoma, Johannesburg/Cape Town/Bloemfontein, etc). The map also shows the networks of main road and railway connections, airports, and oil fields with pipelines. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5° degrees intervals. Also provided is a glossary of geographical terms and abbreviations used on the map.PLEASE NOTE: current edition still shows Sudan as one
country. Somalia is shown as two separate countries: Somalia with a capital in Muqdisho/Mogadishu and in the north Somaliland. An annotating note provides an explanation of the current political and international status.* This size is also available on paper without the encapsulation.*LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:*- *laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- *encapsulated* wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny
surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- *please note:* many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
