Guatemala and Belize at 1:500,000 on an indexed road map with topographic and tourist information, printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant plastic paper. The map, published by Rough Guides with cartography from the highly acclaimed World Mapping Project by the German publishers Reise Know-How, is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The map divides the region north/south with a generous overlap and the whole of Belize on one side. Coverage extends south to San Salvador. Altitude colouring with contours and peak heights presents the topography. Seasonal rivers, swamps and coral reefs in the coastal waters are also marked. Road network includes local tracks and indicates driving distances on main routes. Railway lines and local airports are included. The map also shows internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

National parks and other protected areas are highlighted and a range of symbols mark various places of interest including UNESCO World Heritage sites, archaeological remains, beaches, etc. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 30’. The map has an extensive index of localities with a separate list of national parks and other protected areas.

”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 maps in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same cartography. The remaining titles are listed on our website in their original Reise Know-How editions.

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.
