If you are looking for a durable wall map of the United States with an attention to detail, you can do much worse than this wall map.  I purchased this map to help my students learn about the United States as I taught English in Ukraine.  They enjoy the vibrant colors and the details that this map provides.  The map looks good hanging on the classroom wall and I can tell it will last for a very long time.  I recommend it for any teacher or even for a person who just wants a good all around map of the United States for their bedroom or dorm room.
