Filled with authoritative maps, data-driven graphics, awe-inspiring photographs, and thoughtful essays, this vivid book will feed the soul of everyone who loves wild places. Six lush chapters take readers from the eastern woodlands to the central plains, from the northern wilderness to southwestern desert lands—including key wilderness areas in Canada and Mexico.

A special section rich in maps and graphics highlights 13 thematic topics, such as the National Scenic Trail System and the human impact on wilderness areas.
With more than 250 maps, both archival and custom-made for this volume, National Geographic Atlas of Wild America was named best book/atlas of 2023 by the international Cartography and Geographic Information Society.
A beautiful book, bursting with information and lyricism, this fascinating illustrated atlas will inspire all who have journeyed into the wild—and intrigue many who still hope to do so.
