Poland North

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Northern Poland with topographic and tourist information and historical German names for main towns, 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.

Coverage extends south to Bydgoszcz and Pultusk and east to Bialystock (i.e. does not include the Bialowieski National Park). Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Main towns within areas which during the 19th and part of the 20th century were in Germany are shown with their German equivalents.

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. Names of the region’s numerous national and regional parks and lake districts are clearly marked. Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and indicates locations of border crossings. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including campsites, castles, churches, viewpoints, etc. Names of some sights are shown in German. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 20’ and an index of place names. Map legend includes English. Current edition of this map was published in 2005.

”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.
