Historic Regional Map | Cities, Mountains & Countryside | Large Wall Format (884 × 574 mm) | Premium Finishes

A richly detailed regional map capturing the diversity and energy of the northeastern United States. Published by National Geographic in 1978, this Close-up: U.S.A. edition focuses on New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—a region where global cities, mountain landscapes, and rural traditions meet.

From the urban intensity of New York City and Philadelphia to the forested ranges of the Adirondacks and Catskills, this map offers a compelling snapshot of a region defined by contrast, movement, and cultural depth.

Combines major metropolitan centres with wilderness, farmland, and historic regions.

Classic National Geographic cartography
Clean typography, balanced colour, and precise detail ensure clarity and visual appeal.

A snapshot of 1978 America
Captures transport networks, cities, and regional connections of the late 20th century.

Part of the Close-up U.S.A. series
A collectible piece from one of National Geographic’s most respected regional map collections.

Strong visual and storytelling appeal
