Close-up USA, Maine - Published 1975 by National Geographic
Historic Regional Map | New England to Atlantic Canada | Large Wall Format (890 × 577 mm) | Premium Finishes
A beautifully detailed regional map capturing the rugged coastline and maritime culture of the northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada. Published by National Geographic in 1975, this Close-up: U.S.A. edition focuses on Maine and the neighbouring Canadian provinces—New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island—presenting the region with clarity, character, and classic cartographic style.
From rocky headlands and fishing harbours to inland forests and historic towns, this map offers a rich snapshot of a region defined by ocean, heritage, and seasonal travel.
Why This Map Stands Out
A coastal region in full detail
Zooms in on Maine and the Canadian Maritimes—revealing far more detail than broader national maps.
Classic National Geographic design
Clean typography, balanced colour, and precise labelling deliver both readability and visual appeal.
A travel-era snapshot of 1975
Captures the region’s roads, towns, and attractions as they appeared in the mid-20th century.
Part of the Close-up U.S.A. series
A collectible map from one of National Geographic’s most respected regional series.
Rich with travel context
Includes notes on festivals, events, and historical sites—bringing the map to life beyond geography.
