Wall Map of America: USA National Parks 

About The Map: The USA National Parks Map Lite Terrain Edition provides a comprehensive reference to all of the National Park Sites across the USA, Historical Towns, and Remarkable Places in the USA!

This USA travel map features a beautiful impression of 3D dimensions for the elevation and terrain of the USA. We modeled the terrain of the country using specialized GIS software and accurate USGS topological data. 3D shading effects provide visual depth in the map, and natural landscape colorization is used to illustrate deserts, greenlands, and mountainous areas.

Created by a professional geographer/cartographer, the research and design for this USA map took over a year. We worked with official National Park Service data to uniquely display and reference ALL of the 600+ sites in the USA. Every reference has been thoroughly researched, symbolized, and carefully labeled on the map. A unique referencing system has been developed for areas that have many NPS sites and a unique colored coded label system has been created on the side.

Our USA travel maps are truly one of a kind. Each map includes fascinating details that encourage exploration and self-discovery.

What's Included:  500 Map pins and pin case. Each map is individually made to order. We prepare the map with the hanging hardware so it's ready to use and enjoy. The map is nicely packaged and shipped in a large box.

Primary Colors:  Light blue, green, brown/purple

Frequently Asked Questions

Canvas & Satin Paper Comparison

When will my map arrive?

The amount of time it takes for your map to arrive depends on where you live and how fast you approve the proof if you’ve ordered a custom map.

Central - 4 days after your map has shipped

Will there be a hole in my map if remove a pin?

Yes but seeing as though the holes are extremely small, it would be difficult to see them from more than a couple of feet away. Even then you would need to know exactly where to look in order to spot them.

I love it

My whole family gathered around on Monther's Day to remember all the places we had been too and talk about the places we still wanted to go! It was a great conversation piece and we can't wait to add to it!

I ❤️LOVE❤️ this map!

I have been dreaming of having a national parks pin map for years but couldn't find what I was looking for. This was it. I love that it has so many national park sites besides just the big national parks. The many different colored pins are perfect so we can have some of our road trips a different color, and I love the case they come in. The map came sturdily packaged. They are not kidding about how well-packaged this map is. Most importantly, it's beautiful. I keep walking past it and stopping to think about the places my family has gone and the places we'll go in the future. I have surrounded it with 11x14 canvases of our family's trips to national parks, and the whole wall brings me nothing but joy. Thank you!

Even better than I imagined

My map is positioned on the hallway wall, framed by the entrance so everyone notices. I've begun pinning the places I've been. I would very much like a booklet listing all the places on the map that I could use as a checklist for the places I've pinned.
