Jordan

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Jordan with topographic and tourist information, 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 northwards to Damascus and part of the West Bank is included with Jerusalem and Ramallah. Border crossings are clearly marked.

The country’s topography is presented by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes, and names of mountain ranges. Salt pans and seasonal rivers and lakes are also marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Names of main cities are also given in Arabic; names of smaller towns or villages and tourist or geographical information are in Roman alphabet only.

Road network includes unsurfaced local roads and tracks, and indicates driving distances on main and secondary roads. Railways and local airfields are also shown. Symbols highlight various places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, mosques and churches, selected hotels, national parks and nature reserves, hot springs, viewpoints, beaches, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 15’ and an extensive index of localities with a separate list of places of interest. 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 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.
