Historical, Economic & Social Reference | Thematic Mapping | Premium Finishes

Discover the depth and complexity of China through this richly detailed National Geographic thematic map, published in July 1991. Packed with historical, economic, and social information, this remarkable work offers far more than a conventional regional map. It combines two large thematic maps—showing population density and industry & agriculture—with six smaller historical maps illustrating key periods in China’s long and transformative past.

Produced as a companion to the physical and political map of China in the same issue of National Geographic, and paired with the article “China’s Youth Wait for Tomorrow,” this edition is a fascinating snapshot of how China was interpreted and presented at the start of the 1990s.
