Campos de Hielo - Torres del Paine Compass Sectional Road Map 8

Campos de Hielo - Torres del Paine National Park regions of Chile in a series of nine indexed and GPS compatible regional maps from Compass Editorial, printed on light, waterproof and tear-resistant synthetic paper. The maps provide an excellent representation of the topography and show many more locations than general maps of the whole country.

Coverage in this title extends from just above 48°45’ (Lago O’Higgins)) to 54°30’ south. The northern half of the map is at 1:400,000 and includes Campo del Hiero Sur with the Viedma glacier, Torres del Paine National Park, and, across the border in Argentina, El Chaltén, Lago Viedma, Los Glaciares National Park, Lago Argentino Los Glaciares National Park and El Calafate. The southern half, centred on Punta Arenas, is at 1:550,000 and includes Puerto Natales, the Chilean part of the Tierra del Fuego, and the whole of the Magellan Straights

Each map in the Compass Editorial series is double-sided, with a small overlap between the sides and the adjoining titles. The maps provide an exceptionally vivid picture of the terrain, using satellite imagery as a base, with shading and altitude colouring, plus plenty of names of mountain ranges, peaks, passes, salt flats, etc. National parks and other protected areas are prominently highlighted.

Classification of the road network indicates dirt roads and tracks, as well as hard and soft 4WD roads, and shows locations of border crossings, petrol stations, toll booths and police units. Driving distances are marked on main and selected secondary routes. Railway lines are included and local airports/aerodromes are marked. A range of symbols indicate various places of interest and areas for recreational activities, including tourist information offices, UNESCO World Heritage and other cultural or historical sites, beaches, hot springs, trekking and skiing areas, etc. Each side of the map has its own index and a distance table. The maps have a latitude and longitude grid at 15’ intervals. Map legend includes English.
