£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map with topographic and tourist information for the Central Asian countries of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, plus the southernmost part of Kazakhstan between Almaty and Qyzylorda. 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.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which shows the area’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes and names of its numerous mountain ranges. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and seasonal tracks. A wide range of symbols highlights various places of interest, including UNESCO heritage sites, the route of the Silk Road, museums and archaeological remains, selected hotels, beaches, winter sports areas, etc. National parks and protected areas are prominently shown. Also marked are oil and gas pipelines. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of place names with a separate list of 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.
