National Geographic Education Maps

Many of our EEI units come with full color National Geographic California maps showing dramatic visualization of the Golden State’s physical geography. From satellite images to California’s energy infrastructure, these maps offer vibrant color with great detail.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Effective July 1, 2020,  the EEI Curriculum, including the National Geographic California maps below, were migrated to a password-protected SharePoint site. Here are the instructions for how to obtain access to the new EEI SharePoint site, for which you will need to have a Microsoft account (available to anyone). Contact us at eei@calrecycle.ca.gov if you need technical assistance with accessing the site.
