Western Canada in a series of three indexed, waterproof & tear-resistant road maps of the country with topographic & tourist information. The maps, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project, are double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale & a convenient size sheet. The area is divided north/south, with a good overlap between the two sides. Coverage on the north side extends beyond 70º of latitude & 110º of longitude to include the western end of the Northwest Passage & most of the Northwest Territories. The southern side extends eastwards to cover virtually all of Alberta with Calgary, Edmonton & the Banff & Jasper National Parks. The map has altitude colouring with spot heights & plenty of names of mountain & hill ranges, plateaux, peaks, passes, rivers & lakes. National & provincial parks & other protected areas are highlighted. Road network indicates unpaved sections of main & secondary routes,
Includes:: minor roads & tracks, & shows winter roads. Intermediate distances are given on main routes. Railway lines & ferry connections are also shown. Symbols mark locations of various places of interest including natural sites & UNESCO World Heritage areas, selected campsites & refuges, bird sanctuaries, ski areas, etc. The map has a grid with latitude & longitude at intervals of 2º, plus an index of localities. Map legend
Includes:: English. *” World Mapping Project”* is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries & regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic & tourist information.* Sample of cartography:* Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads & 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.
