Canada - Published 1972 by National Geographic
Vintage National Geographic | North America Collection | Premium Finishes
Experience the vast scale and natural richness of Canada with this beautifully detailed National Geographic wall map, published in March 1972. Second only to Russia in sheer landmass, Canada stretches across six time zones and encompasses an extraordinary range of landscapes, climates, and ecosystems. This colourful vintage edition captures that geographic breadth in the classic National Geographic style—clear, elegant, and deeply informative.
Published alongside a companion poster, “Ice Age Mammals of the Alaskan Tundra” by celebrated artist-naturalist Jay H. Matternes, this map is both a practical regional reference and a collectible piece of cartographic history.
