The USA National Atlas Reference Map, a crucial tool for geographers, planners, educators, and the general public alike, provides an extensive portrayal of the nation's physical and human geography. It is not just a representation of the United States; rather, it's a complex blend of history, culture, demography, and geography, crafted with an extraordinary level of detail and precision. Today, we delve into the fascinating complexities of this indispensable cartographic resource.
The Masterpiece: An Overview The USA National Atlas Reference Map is a macroscopic view of the entire country. Spanning from the Pacific to the Atlantic, it encompasses all 50 states, along with the District of Columbia and outlying territories. This map, along with each of the individual state maps, offers an expansive geographic portrait, capturing the mountains, plains, coasts, rivers, and lakes that give the U.S. its diverse topography.
Human Impact: The Mark of Civilization Where the National Atlas Reference Map truly excels is in its detailed depiction of human civilization. The intricate lines and symbols map out not just the physical landscape but the human impact as well. Political boundaries, including international, state, and county lines, outline the political landscape of the United States, while major cities and capitals offer insight into the urban structure of the country.
The map also provides a detailed look at the nation's transportation network, showcasing both national and state highways, railway lines, and major airports. It represents not just the sprawling metropolises but also the smaller towns and rural landscapes that shape the country's character. The map further underscores the nation's commitment to environmental conservation by highlighting national parks and protected areas.
The Legend: Deciphering the Map The legend, or the key, is a vital aspect of the USA National Atlas Reference Map. It helps decode the myriad symbols, lines, and colors utilized in the map, making it a versatile tool for various users. Topographic features, political boundaries, urban centers, transportation routes, protected regions - every detail is carefully categorized in the legend, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the map's contents.
The Palette: Color Coding Geography Color plays an indispensable role in the National Atlas Reference Map. Each color and shade denotes specific geographic features, thereby adding layers of information to the map. Various shades of green, for instance, represent vegetation intensity, distinguishing dense forests from sparse vegetation and arid zones. Blues denote water bodies, with the intensity usually indicative of depth. These color gradations paint a vivid portrait of the United States' diverse geography.
Human Story: The Demographic Picture In addition to the physical and political elements, the National Atlas Reference Map also includes demographic information, offering a nuanced perspective on the nation's population. Densities may be shown through color gradients or numerical values, helping users visualize the population distribution across the country. Furthermore, cultural landmarks, indigenous lands, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites add another dimension to the map, narrating the rich cultural history of the nation.

You will be able to easily hang your canvas wrap in minutes. Comes complete with a hanging kit at no extra cost.
Our archival inks prevent fading to preserve as much fine detail as possible over time. We use artist grade cotton/polyester canvas materials that are acid-free. These canvas materials are heavyweight for a quality feel.
The optional dust covers are designed for large canvas wraps to be used in high traffic areas or commercial spaces.
Our materials are gallery quality. Canvas prints are built with high quality, UV-resistant, environmentally-friendly, fade-resistant, latex archival inks and artist-grade poly-cotton canvas. Our archival inks prevent fading to preserve as much fine detail as possible over time.
Construction:
Built to last with precision around a 1.5 inch kiln-dried wood frame, a processed pine wood material that has all moisture removed to prevent further damage. Each frame also has extra support inside due to the large size of our canvas prints. Each canvas wrap is then hand-stapled with care to ensure tight corner folds and secure construction so they stay firm with tight, clean corners for years to come.

Hand Stretched, Tight Edges
Canvas material:
We use artist grade cotton/polyester canvas materials that are acid-free, specifically 65% Polyester and 35% Cotton. Polyester is used in order to preserve the durability, elasticity, and low cost of our products, yet still maintaining the natural, breathable qualities that cotton provides. Our acrylic coating further protects our canvas from damage and staining, keeping the canvas as low-maintenance as possible. Our final finish provides a Matte/Natural White look in order to maintain the neutrality of the base, so that our photos will look their best as they are stretched over the frame.
Our canvas prints are slightly more heavyweight for a quality feel, but it is much lighter than a standard framed painting and less likely to cause damage to the wall. With a medium weight of 320 grams per square meter (GSM) or 9.5 ounces per yard squared (OSY), our canvas is made to be just sturdy enough while still keeping the material light and flexible. There are 470 microns which measures the diameter of the fibers, making it about 7 times thicker than the average human hair! This thickness gives our canvas the durability it needs as well as the unique texture that accompanies canvas.
Clean Corner Fabrication
Printers and Ink
We have the latest HP Latex printers and archival ink to produce consistent and quality results. The inks are environment-friendly and reduce fading for up to 200 years according to HP.
Hanging hardware comes installed on each canvas wrap we fabricate. The type of hanger depends on the size of the art-piece. It may be a sawtooth hanger or a pre-installed cable bracket system for larger canvas wraps (see images below).
If you have chosen the finished back on your traditional canvas, we will cover the back of your canvas with a white dust cover. Installation is as easy as placing 1 or 2 screws/nails into the wall and then laying the cable or hanger over them. Lastly, tilt the canvas wrap until it is level.
