Street plan of Marrakesh backed by a map of northern Morocco (i.e. the whole country without the Western Sahara), with additional smaller plans of Rabat with Sale, Tangier and Casablanca, printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant plastic paper.

On one side is a map of the country extending south beyond 28º, i.e. not covering the Western Sahara. Altitude colouring and spot heights (in feet), plus names of peaks, valleys, etc, show the topography, clearly presenting the course of the Atlas Mountains. Oasis, salt flats, hot spring and waterholes are also marked.

Road network includes selected minor roads and local track and indicates locations of petrol stations. Driving distances are indicated on main routes. The map also shows the railway network and local airports. Symbols mark various places of interest and facilities: tourist accommodation including campsites and rest houses, historical and archaeological sites, beaches, caves, etc. The map is indexed and has longitude lines at intervals of 1°, with latitude shown only as margin ticks.

On the reverse is a full size, indexed street plan of Marrakesh at 1:7,400, covering both the Medina and the modern part of the city between it and the railway station. Selected hotels and other facilities, as well as various municipal institutions are marked, including taxi ranks, banks, etc. Within the Medina its various neighbourhoods and main streets are named and an enlargement presents its central part with the main souks in greater detail.

The map also includes insets with smaller plans of central Rabat with Sale, Tangier and Casablanca, highlighting road arteries and naming main streets.
