Ethiopia - Eritrea - Somalia - Djibouti - Touring - Activities and Interests

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

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and names of mountain ranges. Salt pans, swamps, seasonal rivers and lakes, oases, caves, hot springs and coral reefs are indicated. Road network includes seasonal local tracks, gives driving distances on main roads, and shows locations of fuel supplies and border crossings. Local airfields are also marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, archaeological remains, churches and monasteries, mosques, viewpoints, beaches, etc. Campsites, particularly within Ethiopia, and locations of wells and water tanks are indicated. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 1º, and a separate index of localities for each country, plus a list of national parks and reverse. 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.

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.
