Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Mongolia with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The country’s topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes, and names of mountain ranges. The map also shows caves, oases and seasonal rivers and lakes. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Names of many towns are given with alternative versions, whilst main towns are also Cyrillic alphabet.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and tracks, gives driving distances on main and secondary roads, and shows border crossings. The course of the Trans-Mongolian Railway is clearly marked and local airfields are indicated. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including national parks and protected areas, UNESCO world heritage sites, Buddhist monasteries, rock paintings, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:
Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
