National Geographic Maps was founded in 1915 as the Cartographic Group, the National Geographic Society's original branch, with the purpose of depicting the world around us through the art and science of mapmaking. Today, National Geographic Maps continues this mission by producing the best wall maps, recreation maps, atlases, and globes that inspire people to care about and explore the world around them. The Society's non-profit objective is to expand global awareness and encourage conservation of our planet through exploration, research, and education, and all proceeds from the sale of National Geographic maps support that mission.
