Series details

£12.95

One of the three topographic maps from the Institut Géographique National in Paris covering Martinique. Cartography is similar to that used for IGN’s coverage of France at this scale, with contours at 10m intervals, relief shading, and plenty of information on the type of vegetation: woods and forests, brushwood, plantations and orchards, banana and sugar cane plantations, mangrove swamps.

In addition to the usual information found on topographic survey maps, extensive overprint highlights accommodation including huts, gîtes d’étape, and campsites, various recreational and nautical facilities (horse riding, golf, tennis, water sports, etc), places of interest, etc. Local and long-distance hiking routes are also prominently marked, indicating any difficult passages.

The maps have a UTM grid, plus a latitude/longitude grid at 5’ intervals. Map legend includes English.
