Map Supplement

Surprise! I just received my March  issue and it finally has a supplement!  And it also is red lettered on the spine: "Poster: Bird Migrations". It is double-sided with bird migration in the Americas…Continue

"Good job Tom! You got them all. There was one after the fact: "'The 2 Koreas / The Forgotten War" in July 2003. I would like to have seen the Ukraine map near when the war started, but at least they finally got it. Harold W."

"I did get mine last week. It's nice. The cover calls it a special bonus map. But it's actually an "old fashioned supplement"! Maybe Disney got more complaints besides mine. Better late than never, Hopefully, in the future, they…"

"I just saw this. I have them all back through 1906 and the 1905 Location of the Panama Canal. I have a few copies of some older ones. I never found the Feb. 1905 world map. Harold W."

"Harold - have you seen the new June 2023 NGM issue yet? It has a Ukraine map that you were hoping for! See Tom's snippet from Friday, here ---> A Ukraine War supplement (June 2023)"

"Precisely, I 100% agree. I love spreading their maps out on the table and taking my time examining and reading them.  Say, which maps are you missing? I'm surprised....."

Harold Woron replied to Harold Woron's discussion Map Supplement
"Thanks, Scott. I think I saw most of those, but I still prefer a paper map in front of me where I can take my time looking at it. The Internet has its value too where you can copy or save. But you still can't beat National Geographic maps!…"

"I remember the "flak" Nat Geo got for that in 2014. I thought it was lame. They were showing reality w/ explanation. "

"Tom, you may be right. I hope not. The map supplements were as important as articles in the magazine with historical notes, ocean depths, etc. I'm glad I have all mine and told my kids to hold on to them when they inherit them. I check back to…"

About Me:
Started collecting NGM in 1972. Remember seeing them in school in the 1940s during WWII. Have issues and supplements back to early 1900s. They had great maps and supplements for many years and then stopped - bad mistake! Now see they are starting again. Way overdue for new wall maps of the world, Europe, Asia, and Africa which have all seen boundary changes or new nations since last supplemented.
Favorite National Geographic publication:
National Geographic Magazine with map and/or picture supplements.
