National Geographic's Executive map of Asia uses a antique-style color palette that fits with any decor. This stunning wall map covers the entire continent, with shaded relief, colorful international borders and infrastructure features such as roads, railroads, airports and canals. Also displayed are glaciers, areas of sand, lava fields, intermittent and dry lakes, swamps and areas below sea level. Country capitals and other cities are labeled with easy-to-read fonts. Oceans, seas and other major bodies of water are shown with depth curves. An inset map provides detail of New Guinea and Bismarck Archipelago. The English translation for many geographic terms is shown in a user friendly index.

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 fames can be much lighter and less expensive.
