Dominican Republic at 1: 450,000 on a waterproof and tear-resistant map from the National Geographic Society, with on the reverse street plans and enlargements for most visited areas, all illustrated with numerous colour photos and descriptions.

On one side is a map of the whole country at 1:450,000. Topography is very effectively presented by contours at 100m intervals with additional altitude shading, spot heights and names of mountain ranges, plus graphics and/or colouring for forested areas, swamps, mangrove and coral reefs in the coastal waters. Road network includes selected tracks and paths, with distances shown on main routes. Crossing points to Haiti are indicated, and domestic airports or airstrips are marked. Also shown are internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

Symbols highlight various places of interest, including surfing, diving and deep sea fishing sights, shipwrecks, golf courses, caves, etc. The map also prominently shows the country’s numerous protected areas, with a separate index listing national parks, forest reserves, natural monuments, national recreation areas, scientific reserves, wildlife refuges and marine mammal sanctuaries. The map has a UTM grid, plus latitude and longitude margin ticks at intervals of 20’. Apart from the protected areas, only a short index of selected towns is provided.

On the reverse is an overview plan of Santo Domingo, naming main streets and districts and indicating locations of main sights. A more detailed enlargement shows the Colonial Old City. Also provided are enlargements showing in greater detail the Samana Peninsula, Lake Enriquillo and environs, Del Este National Park and the Cordillera Central around Pico Duarte, the highest point in the Caribbean.

Across both sides of the map are numerous colour photos and descriptions of sights, fauna and flora.
