Drawn in the Lambert Conformal Conic projection, which seats a cone over the sphere of the Earth and projects the surface conformally onto the cone, and is a popular projection used in aeronautical charts.

Names of geographic features are carefully placed on the map to maintain legibility. The insets features Alaska and its relative size to continental USA, the county and outlying areas in Oblique Mercator projection, and maps of Hawai'i.

National Geographic's maps are the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. The maps are meticulously researched and adhere to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative sources.

Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.
