Close-up USA, the Southeast - Published 1975 by National Geographic
Historic Regional Map | Coastlines, Rivers & Southern Heritage | Large Wall Format (888 × 577 mm) | Premium Finishes
A richly detailed regional map capturing the character, history, and landscapes of the southeastern United States. Published by National Geographic in 1975, this Close-up: U.S.A. edition explores a region stretching from the Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi River—a landscape shaped by waterways, agriculture, and deep cultural roots.
From coastal plains and barrier islands to inland mountains and river valleys, this map offers a compelling snapshot of the Southeast as it appeared in the mid-1970s—revealing a region defined by history, movement, and identity.
