The Ahaggar Mountains on a double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant, GPS compatible map at 1:200,000 from Reise Know-How with detailed topographic information, plus roads and desert tracks, settlements, etc.

The map presents part of the Algerian Sahara also known as The Hoggar and covers an area, with Tamanrasset roughly in its centre, stretching between approximately:

West - East: from 5 ° to 6°20’ east in its northern half and 6°55’ east on its southern part

North – South: from 24° to 21°10’ north

Topography is shown by very effective relief shading based on satellite imagery, with contour lines at 750 metres, numerous spot heights throughout the whole region and names of peaks, mountain ranges, etc. Seasonal rivers and wadis are marked, many of them shown with names. Also marked are palm groves and permanent or seasonal wells. The map shows the main road leading to and south of Tamanrasset, plus other local roads, tracks and sand tracks, as well as settlements, airfields and places of interest. The map has both a UTM grid and latitude/longitude lines at intervals of 10’. Map legend includes English.

This title is part of Reise Know-How’s ”World Mapping Project” - 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.
