Africa

£6.95

Political map of Africa and the neighbouring regions, including the Mediterranean basin but without northern Adriatic, and the most of the Middle East except for the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Cape Verde Islands are shown as an inset. Countries are shown in bright colours with their borders enhanced by darker colouring. Some countries also include internal administrative boundaries. Road and rail networks are shown, plus in countries such as Algeria and Libya main oils fields and pipelines.

The map shows a lot of towns and names of geographical features such as mountain and deserts, but the overall presentation is rather old fashioned and cluttered. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10° intervals. Also included is a large inset showing the continent with bright elevation colouring and names of principal deserts and mountain ranges. Along the bottom of the map are flags of all the countries.
