Need some advice on choosing a United States wall map? Here's some help:
Best for business marketing: Hammond US Collector Series, with insets showing suburban cities that are omitted from other US wall maps.
Best for general reference in offices, schools, and the home: National Geographic US, Classic, Executive, or Decorator styles; exceptional cartography, good mix of political and physical place names and features.
Best for flags and facts: Michelin USA, Political or Roads.
Least expensive: Rand McNally USA M Series, Reduced, $3.55.
Least expensive, laminated: Rand McNally USA M Series, $9.00.
Best small size: Rand McNally USA M Series Reduced, (32 x 21 inches).
Largest: National Geographic US Mural, three sheet set to hang like wallpaper, covering over 9 feet wide by over 6 feet high.
Largest single sheet: National Geographic US Enlarged Classic, Executive and Decorator styles (about six feet by four feet).
Best for roads: Michelin USA Roads, since it not only includes many secondary roads not included on other wall maps, but also has their route numbers and shows point-to-point mileages common in folded road maps, but lacking in other wall maps.
Most distinguished: National Geographic US Executive style, with brownish antique-like coloring that looks especially good in a wood-paneled room.
Only one with rails: Rand McNally USA M Series with Rails, for easier hanging.
Best for a handsome display: Raven Maps & Images US Physical.
Most unusual projection: USGS The United States with Alaska and Hawaii in Correct Positions.
Historic maps: United States Historic Maps are included on the historic map page.
Postal zone maps: No such thing exists! The reason there is no such thing is because US Postal Service zones are not fixed, but are relative to the shipping point. For example, if you are shipping from Boston, Massachusetts to Amherst, Massachusetts, the latter is in zone 2. But if I ship to Amherst from here in Cottonwood, Arizona, the destination is in zone 8. And if I ship from a location a few dozen miles to the north, south, east, or west, the zone boundaries change. You can, however, get a free custom-generated zone chart for shipping from your zip code on the website of the US Postal Service at www.usps.com.
Zip code maps: We do not stock zip code maps, however you can purchase an up-to-date accurate one from www.marketmaps.com.
