Mosaic of Cultures on Earth
Maps recognize American Indian reservations and
indigenous nations around the world. Detailed views of
Arizona show Havasupai, Navajo, and Hopi reservations
outlined in blue and note that these territories are
distinct political entities.

Distribution Patterns of Human Population
The effects of urbanization and higher population
concentrations, shown in yellow, present a much truer
vision of built-up areas—like this close-up of the
East Coast.

Human Impact on the Environment
Maps display marine pollution, deforestation,
and cultivated areas. Water pollution is shown as darker
grey waters surrounding these urbanized areas.

Meaningful Representation of the Terrain
Traditionally, color variations on maps
represent elevation changes, not landcover.
This detail of Texas shows cultivated lands, coniferous
and deciduous forests, grassland, and shrubland. Greater
detail provides an in-depth view of the resources and
relative habitability of a given region.

A Current & True Picture of Our World
The maps are based on contemporary, in-depth research
by The Exploration Company. The wealth of information
represented in the map line is unavailable on any other
brand of educational maps.
