For middle school and upper elementary students, this map strikes a balanced level of detail: complex enough to enrich a student's world, simple enough to focus on what is most important. Contrasting colors make the U.S. states easily visible. The map shows shaded relief, capital and major cities and longitude and latitude. Map measures 53" h x 65" w and comes mounted on a heavy-duty metal spring-roller with a backboard. Hardware to mount map is sold separately (1301145 for 1 Inch Map Rail or 285553 for 4-Map Rack).
