Mexico — National Geographic Wall Map (1916)

Muted earth tones, mountains to coastline—Mexico in serene relief. Published in July 1916, this elegant Mexico wall map presents a clear physical portrait of the country and includes a large inset of central Mexico at twice the main scale for added detail around the nation’s heartland. A handsome collectible on its own, it pairs beautifully with National Geographic’s 1911 and 1914 Mexico sheets.

More Than a Map – A Testament to Place

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding Mexico’s varied terrain at a glance: cordilleras, plateaus, river systems, and coastal lowlands rendered in calming, muted earth tones. Ideal for educators, historians, travelers, designers, and collectors, it bridges decorative appeal and geographic substance—made to command a wall and reward close study.
