Northwestern United States and Canadian Provinces - Published 1950 by National Geographic
Historical Regional Wall Map | Cross-Border Landscapes & Political Detail | Large Format (918 × 646 mm) | Premium Finishes
A sweeping post-war portrait of the Pacific Northwest and western Canada, Northwestern United States & Canadian Provinces captures a vast and interconnected region defined by mountains, forests, and frontier development. Published by National Geographic in June 1950, this map forms the sixth and final sheet in a celebrated series documenting the United States between 1945 and 1950.
Blending political clarity with geographic depth, it extends beyond national borders to show how landscapes and communities flow seamlessly across the U.S.–Canada divide.
Why This Map Stands Out
A cross-border perspective
Unites U.S. states and Canadian provinces in one cohesive regional view.
Part of a landmark series
The final map in National Geographic’s 1945–1950 sectional set.
Post-war cartographic style
Clean, confident design reflecting a period of growth and optimism.
Large-format impact
A bold wall map with strong visual presence.
A collector’s centrepiece
Ideal for those building a complete mid-century U.S. series.
