Series details

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of North-Western India with topographic and tourist information, one of three regional maps of India published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The maps are double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

The maps have altitude colouring with spot heights and names of hills and mountain ranges, plateaux, valleys, etc. Swamps, mangroves, sandy areas, glaciers, waterfalls and hot springs are indicated. Detailed road network and railways are easy to see on the base map, and local airports and airfields are marked. Nature reserves and bird sanctuaries are highlighted, and symbols show locations of various UNESCO sites, forts and palaces, temples and other religious buildings, natural curiosities, beaches, etc. The maps have 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, including Southern India, have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint.

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.
