Double-sided, detailed road map at 1:800,000 of the Karelian Republic and the Murmansk Oblast with street plans of nine main cities, published by Finland’s national survey organization. Coverage extends from St. Petersburg to Murmansk, and from the adjoining areas of Norway and Finland eastwards to Ostrovno on the Kola Peninsula and on the southern part of the map to beyond Lake Onega.

Road network is shown in great detail, including small country roads (incorrectly described in the English translation of the map legend as “private” roads). Locations of petrol stations and car repairs workshops are marked and border crossings indicated. Railway lines and ferry routes are also shown. Protected areas are highlighted and a wide range of symbols indicate accommodation and places to eat in smaller towns, campsites, winter sport areas, tourist information centres, medical facilities, etc. The map has a latitude grid at intervals of 30’ and longitude at 1º, plus UTM margin ticks. Map legend includes English.

Also included are street plans of central St. Petersburg, Murmansk, Petrozavodsk, Vyborg, Priozersk, Sortavala, Olonets, Lahdenpohja and Pitkeranta, highlighting various places of interest and facilities.

PLACE NAMES ON THE MAIN MAP: All towns and villages are shown in both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets. In areas which used to be part of Finland, old Finish names are added. Geographical features such as lakes, rivers or bays have only transliterated Russian names, plus in most cases, their Finnish equivalents.

PLACE NAMES ON STREET PLANS: Main streets have Cyrillic and transliterated names, plus, where appropriate, their old Finnish names. Some smaller streets are Cyrillic alphabet only. Names of parks, notable buildings and places of interest are in Cyrillic and transliterated into Finnish only, e.g. Pietari-Paavalin linnoitus for the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg.
