Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Crimea with southern Ukraine, showing 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. On one side is the whole of Crimea. On the reverse coverage of the southern part of Ukraine extends west to Odessa, north to Krivyi Rih, and east to just beyond Nikopol’.

The area’s topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours and spot heights. Swamps and salt marshes are marked and many wine growing areas are also indicated. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Names of towns and villages are given in both Roman and Cyrillic alphabet. Geographical and tourist information is in Roman alphabet only.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and tracks, and indicates driving distances on main, secondary and some local roads, plus locations of petrol stations. Railways, local airfields and ports are also shown, with shipping and ferry routes.

Symbols highlight various places of interest, including national parks and nature reserves, viewpoints, churches and monasteries, campsites and selected hotels, etc. The map has both a UTM grid and a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 20’, plus an extensive index of localities with place names in both alphabets. 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.
