£4.50

One of the titles in a series of waterproof and tear-resistant maps of Indian states, showing local districts in different colours and indicating both administrative headquarters of each district and of its subdivisions, the tehsils (or tahsils, tahasils, talukas, taluks, taluqs). These maps often show different small villages to those marked on the TTK maps, with the two series supplementing each other to provide a more detail picture of each state. Roads are classified as national or state highways and other roads, some with driving distances. Railway lines are also marked and some titles have symbols indicating places of interest or rest houses.

Maps of states in mountainous areas show names of main valleys, on other titles there is no topographic information. The maps have no geographical coordinates. Some titles include insets with enlargements of popular areas or street plans, and distance tables. All the maps are indexed and have a small booklet providing a basic guide to the state district by district. The maps are printed on a waterproof and tear-resistant paper.

In this title: the map shows some places of interest, including wildlife sanctuaries, handicraft centres and historical places. Also included is a basic plan of Thiruvananthapuram and a distance table.
