National Geographic’s map of Central America is as attractive as it is functional. The signature Classic style features a bright, easy to read color palette with blue oceans and the region’s terrain detailed in stunning shaded relief that has been a hallmark of National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years. The map includes thousands of place names, accurate boundaries, national parks, archeological sites, and major infrastructure networks such as roads, canals, ferry routes, airports, and railroads. Coastal bathymetry, and symbolism for water features and other land forms, as well as elevations, depth curves, and soundings are shown. Coverage includes the countries of Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.

The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the frames can be much lighter and less expensive.
