Afghanistan

£8.50

Indexed road map of Afghanistan with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet. Unlike most of the maps in this series, this title is printed on paper and not waterproof or tear-resistant.

Road network is easy to see on a clear base which shows the area’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, and names of mountain ranges. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and tracks. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including archaeological remains, viewpoints, nature reserves, wells, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of place names. 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.
