South Africa at 1:1,400,000 on a light, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed road map 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 map divides the county east/west with a generous overlap between the sided. Topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes, and names of numerous mountain ranges. The map also shows salt lakes and seasonal rivers, etc.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and 4WD tracks, and shows driving distances on main and many secondary routes. Railways are shown with stations and local airfields are also marked. Internal administrative boundaries are presented with names of the provinces.

National parks and protected areas are clearly marked. Symbols highlight numerous places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, churches and archaeological sites, hot springs, viewpoints, beaches, wine growing regions, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and index of localities with a separate list of national parks and nature or game reserves. 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.

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.
