Borders-to-borders diagram

A national map is a map depicting an entire nation—its geography, political boundaries, infrastructure, or other features at a country-wide scale.

The national map showed all major highways and state borders.

In the U.S., the National Map is also a specific USGS program providing standardized topographic and geospatial data.
