Tysk kartserie med flotte kart på slitesterkt plastpapir.

Russia: Urals to Lake Baikal covering south-central Russia at 1:2,000,000 on an indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant map 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. The western half of the map starts well west the Urals to include Kazan, Ulyanovsk and Samara, and extends north to Surgut. In the east the map ends just beyond Irkutsk (PLEASE NOTE: Lake Baikal itself is not included) and extends north to Ust-Ilimsk and the bend of the Angara. Names of larger and selected smaller towns are given in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets; smaller places, administrative units, geographical features and places of interest are in the Latin alphabet only.

Road and rail networks are easy to see on a clear base which presents the region’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, numerous spot heights and names of mountain ranges. Swamps, marshes and seasonal lakes and rivers are also shown. Road network includes selected unsurfaced local roads and tracks, shows locations of petrol stations, gives driving distances on main and secondary routes, and indicates border crossings (including the M52 route from Novosibirsk across the Altai Mountains to Mongolia). The course of the Trans-Siberian railway line is easy to follow across the map and local airports are indicated. National parks and protected areas are marked and symbols highlight various places of interest, including locations with tourist accommodation, UNESCO World Heritage sites, museums, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1º and an extensive index of place names, with an additional list of national parks. Map legend includes English.
