Map Scale = 1:500,000 Sheet Size = 37.75" x 25.5" Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.25" Review I had no idea National Geographic made adventure maps until recently when I was given a copy of their Northern Yucatán Peninsula Adventure Map. I didn't have it with me on my trip but I wish I had. One side has a map of the Northern Yucatán Peninsula with detailed city insets of Cancún and Mérida; the other side has information -- plus maps -- of the Yucatán's most important archaeological sites. And it's made of waterproof-tear-resistant material so you won't have to worry about ripping it or getting it wet. Great map! --Journeys Near and Far Blog :: March 2, 2009 About the Author Founded in 1915 as the Cartographic Group, the first division of National Geographic, National Geographic Maps has been responsible for illustrating the world around us through the art and science of mapmaking.Today, National Geographic Maps continues this mission by creating the world's best wall maps, recreation maps, atlases, and globes which inspire people to care about and explore their world.
