Street plan of Accra with a road map of Ghana on the reverse, both indexed, plus a comprehensive, 120-page guide to both the city and the country, published by the locally based Surf Publications.

The street plan of Accra at 1:24,000 extends well beyond the city’s central area to include the international airport and University of Ghana. Main arterial roads are highlighted. Colours indicate public and industrial zones, residential areas, zones liable to flooding, etc. A range of symbols mark various sites and services, e.g. public offices and ministries, major bank HQs, emergency and medical services, bus stations, places of interest, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 30” intervals.



On the reverse is a map of Ghana at 1:850,000, showing the country’s network of main roads and railway lines and highlighting its national parks/protected areas and numerous places of interest. Latitude and longitude lines are at 30’ intervals.

The 120-page bilingual guide in English and French attached to the map cover is far more comprehensive in its coverage than what is usually found in booklets of this kind. In addition to containing indexes for both the street plan and the road map, the guide provides general information for tourist visiting Ghana, a section on the capital and its facilities and attractions, and a region by region guide to the country. Well presented, with numerous colour photos, the guide includes information for traveling across the country, contract details for regional tourist boards, descriptions of places of interest and local festivals, etc. The section on Accra includes recommendations of cafes, bars, jazz clubs, etc.

This map/guide was originally published for the 50th Anniversary of Ghana’s Independence and is now in its second edition.
