This elegant map is also winner of the 2001 Premier Print Award from Printing Industries of America for 'a unique ability to create visual masterpieces.' It also is the winner of the 2002 Best Reference Map from the American Congress on Surveying Mapping. The Wall Map is printed on 24lb. premium coated bond paper.
