Western Canada in a series of three indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road maps of the country with topographic and tourist information. The maps, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, are double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The area is divided north/south, with a good overlap between the two sides. Coverage on the north side extends beyond 70º of latitude and 110º of longitude to include the western end of the Northwest Passage and most of the Northwest Territories. The southern side extends eastwards to cover virtually all of Alberta with Calgary, Edmonton and the Banff and Jasper National Parks.

The map has altitude colouring with spot heights and plenty of names of mountain and hill ranges, plateaux, peaks, passes, rivers and lakes. National and provincial parks and other protected areas are highlighted. Road network indicates unpaved sections of main and secondary routes, includes minor roads and tracks, and shows winter roads. Intermediate distances are given on main routes. Railway lines and ferry connections are also shown. Symbols mark locations of various places of interest including natural sites and UNESCO World Heritage areas, selected campsites and refuges, bird sanctuaries, ski areas, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 2º, plus 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.
