Best Hemisphere Maps to buy

If you are looking for hemisphere maps, you can buy from Hemisphere – OldMapster. We have all types of map collections. You can search for any map on our website, and we are confident we will provide you with the best map for your school, office, or residence. Before buying the map, we should know about the hemispherical of the Earth. In geography and cartography, the hemispheres mean dividing the Earth into two equal parts. It can be two halves north and south or east and west. Hemisphere means ‘half of a sphere’. If you are interested in more topographical shape, please visit: Topographic Maps.

Northern Hemispherical maps and Southern Hemispherical maps

We can divide the Earth by latitudinal and longitudinal markers. In North-South, this division can be the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. The southern part of the Equator lies in the Northern Hemisphere, and the southern portion lies in the Southern Hemisphere. So the map of the Northern Hemisphere includes the northern region, and the Southern Hemisphere map consists of the south part of the Equator. We have many modern and old maps (maps of ancient times).

Eastern Hemispherical maps and Western Hemispherical maps

The Earth can be divided into east and west halves. They are the Eastern hemisphere and Western Hemisphere. The half that lies east of the prime meridian and west of the 180th meridian is known as the Eastern Hemisphere, and the world half lies west of the prime meridian and east of the 180th meridian. We have a rich collection of maps of both the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Map of the cultural and religious hemisphere

The East-West division is also considered in a cultural and religious sense, known as the cultural and religious hemispheres. The East-West dichotomy is the significant difference between the Eastern and the Western worlds. This geographical boundary is not fixed but varies according to the criteria adopted by the people using the term. This term is familiar in management, economics, international relations, and linguistics, but this concept is criticized for overlooking geographical hybridity.

Map of Land Hemisphere and Water Hemisphere
The land hemisphere contains the most significant possible land area, and the water hemisphere includes the most extensive possible place of water on Earth. So the map of the land hemisphere covers the largest possible area of land, and the map of the water hemisphere covers the largest possible area of water. However maps are lacking historical maps, that are represented in different category

Larger Northern Hemisphere map

We have a rich collection of larger northern hemispherical maps. This map includes the Northern Hemisphere, the half of Earth that lies north of the Equator. In the solar system, for other planets, the north is defined as being in the same celestial hemisphere relative to the invariable plane of the solar system as the north pole of our planet earth.
The larger maps of the Northern hemisphere include the Arctic area and regions around the north pole. This area is so cold in winter and pleasant in summer. The map of the northern hemisphere also includes the Tropic of Cancer which lies in the north temperate zone. The maps indicate that this area has warmer weather than the polar area.
The northern hemispherical maps also include the tropical regions between the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator. This area is generally hot all year round and has a rainy season in the summer months. Usually, this area has dry winter. You can easily indicate this reason in the maps that we sell.
In brief, if we mention the area included in this northern hemisphere, then in Africa, around two third of the continent. The entire continent is included in Asia except for some parts of Indonesia and the Maldives. In America, all the North America, Caribbean islands, Central America, and one-fifth of South America are included in the northern hemisphere. Finally, nearly all the continent in Europe lies in the northern hemisphere.

In the northern hemispherical map, the countries you will see:

Asia: Entirely included – Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia,
China, Cyprus, Georgia, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia,

Larger map of the Southern Hemisphere

The Southern Hemispherical map includes the half of the world maps that lies south of the Equator. These maps contain all or parts of five continents, Antarctica, Australia, most of South America, about one-third of Africa, and some islands beside mainland Asia. They also include four oceans, the Indian Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean, Southern Ocean, and the South Pacific. In addition, it has New Zealand and most of the Pacific Islands in Oceania. More than 80.9% of this area is water, whereas only 60.7% of water is in the Northern Hemisphere. This area contains 32.7% land of the Earth.
Again by continent, one-third of Africa, entire Antarctica, some countries of Asia, Australia, most of South America, and Zealandia as a whole are part of the southern hemisphere, and on our map, we have presented them nicely.

The following countries are included in the southern hemisphere:
Asia: Entirely included – East Timor,

Mostly included – Indonesia

Partly included – Maldives

Africa: Entirely included – Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Comoros, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Mainly included: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Republic of the Congo.

Partly included: Kenya, São Tomé and Príncipe, Somalia, Uganda

Americas entirely included – Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

It mainly included – Brazil, Ecuador, and Partly Colombia.

Australia: Entirely included – Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand

Antarctica: whole continent in the southern hemisphere

Map of Eastern Hemisphere

The Eastern Hemisphere includes the half of Earth that lies east of the prime meridian. This crosses Greenwich, London, UK. Besides this, this includes west of the antemeridian that crosses the Pacific Ocean and relatively little land from pole to pole. This map also refers to Afro-Eurasia (Africa and Eurasia) and Australia, contrasting with the Western Hemisphere. This part mainly includes North and South America. People called the Eastern Hemisphere “Oriental Hemisphere.” In a cultural or geopolitical sense, this area is a synonym for the “Old World.”

Map of Western Hemisphere

In the Western Hemisphere map, we have included the half of Earth that lies west of the prime meridian, which crosses Greenwich, London, UK, and east of the antemeridian. In geopolitical terms, it is one of the most used terms. The Encyclopedia Britannica defines this as “North and South America and the surrounding waters. Longitudes 20°W and 160°E are often considered its boundaries.” It is a synonym for the “New World” in the cultural and geographical sense. We have a huge map collection in this categoryarea maps of the world.

Maps of Land and water hemispheres

Our maps of the land and water hemisphere show both the land and water, the continents and oceans. The land hemisphere includes the largest possible area of land; the water hemisphere contains the most important site of water, the sea—one thing we must remember is that these two hemispheres do not overlap.

The hemisphere’s determinations vary slightly. For example, one finding says that the center of the land hemisphere is at 47°13′N 1°32′W, which is located in the French city of Nantes. On the other hand, the center of the water hemisphere is the antipode of the land hemisphere’s center. It is situated at 47°13′S 178°28′E, which is near Bounty Islands of Zealand in the Pacific Ocean.

Another assignment says the center of the land hemisphere should be at 47°24′42″N 2°37′15″W, which is near Piriac-Sur-Mer, France. Finally, this assignment says the center of the water hemisphere is located at 47°24′42″S 177°22′45″E. This place is near New Zealand’s Bounty Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

In conclusion, again I would like to mention that we have an extensive collection of maps of different types and from there you can select any. So if you love hemispherical or old maps, then we can be your first choice to buy maps online.
