A small portion of the geologic map.
Inferences can be drawn from this map about our country's geologic
history, geologic processes, orientation of rock layers, faults,
and shape of rock bodies beneath the surface.
The new physical features map is a stunning rendering
of our national terrain. The map is designed to accentuate the beauty
and diversity of the physical landscape of the United States. Many
of the features shown on the map are labeled.

When you examine this wall map closely,
thousands of names of the physical features shown on this map are
revealed. If you take just a few steps back and gaze again at the map,
the names disappear into its shaded relief surface. Among the many features
we chose to label you will find:
• large mountain ranges and individual summits;
• coastal headlands and islands;
• major rivers, streams, and lakes;
• elevations for selected features as well as the highest point in each State; and
• drainage basin divides.
State boundaries are included for reference and inset maps illustrate elevation ranges across the country. This new map complements an earlier Shaded Relief Map of North America that was also prepared by the National Atlas.
