Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa) and the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) on light, waterproof and tear-resistant map 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.

Topography is shown by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, names of mountain ranges in the interior, seasonal rivers and swamps. Road network includes local roads and 4WD tracks, shows driving distances on main routes and indicates locations of fuel supplies and border crossings. Railways, local airfields, ports along the Congo and its tributaries, and ferry connections of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Kivu are marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Coverage includes the whole of Rwanda and Burundi.

National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols indicate locations with hotel accommodation, various places of interest, natural gas fields, etc. The map has a grid with latitude and longitude at intervals of 1º, and an extensive 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.
