Africa West: Coastal Countries

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of the coastal region of Western Africa 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 and covers countries from Senegal to Nigeria plus southern Mali, with inset showing the Cape Verde Islands.

Detailed road network and railways are easy to see on a clear base which shows the area’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, names of hill ranges, swamps, seasonal rivers, etc. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and tracks, indicating locations of petrol stations and border crossings. A wide range of symbols highlights various places of interest, including UNESCO heritage sites, national parks and nature reserves, turtle protection areas, selected accommodation (lodges, hotels, campsites), etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of place names which also lists national parks. 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.
