Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Sri Lanka at 1:500,000 published by Rough Guides with cartography from Reise Know-How’s highly acclaimed World Mapping Project combining topographic and tourist information.

Road and rail networks are presented on a clear base with altitude colouring, spot heights, names of mountain ranges, seasonal rivers, swamps and coral reefs in the coastal waters. Road network includes local tracks and gives driving distances on main routes. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces.

The map highlights national parks and other protected areas. Symbols mark numerous places of interest, including temples and other places of worship, archaeological remains, viewpoints, beaches and diving sites, golf courses and botanical gardens, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 20’ and 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. The remaining titles are listed 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.
