The Ridgeline Geographic Political Map of the World: Georgetown Edition utilizes a gradient fill with soft colors to emphasize international borders. Continental terrain is still visible with hillshading along a light yellow-to-dark-gray color ramp. This map is ideal for display in offices, waiting rooms, libraries, and high-traffic areas.
Despite the continental emphasis on human geography, the ocean floor is illuminated with systems of ridges, trenches, troughs, seamounts, guyots, banks, and reefs. For context, spot depths are labeled, with depth measurements represented in feet.
As political maps should ideally emphasize human geography, world cities (including national and territorial capitals) are emphasized and scaled/categorized by population, making human settlement patterns readily apparent.
