EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse and breathtaking land cover and terrain of Mainland USA. With North at the top, this map provides a comprehensive view of the contiguous United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. Spanning over 8 million square kilometers, this vast area is home to 48 states nestled between Canada and Mexico. The main geographical features that dominate this landscape are beautifully depicted in this illustration. The majestic Rocky Mountains majestically stretch across the western region, while the Appalachian Mountains gracefully adorn the eastern part of Mainland USA. In contrast to these towering mountain ranges, the central Great Plains showcase expansive prairies that contribute to its distinct charm. Highlighted by dark green hues on this white background map are areas with higher moisture content or dense forest cover. This representation allows us to appreciate both wetter regions as well as flourishing vegetation throughout Mainland USA. With its intricate details and precise depiction of land cover, this artwork by Claus Lunau serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring America's natural beauty from a geographical perspective. Whether you're studying geography or simply admiring nature's wonders, this print offers an immersive experience into one of Earth's most remarkable regions - North America's mainland United States.
