Mexico Adventure Map

Product Description

Mexico at 1:2, 425, 000 in a series of Adventure maps from the National Geographic Society with cartography provided by Reise Know-How. The map, double-sided & printed on light waterproof & tear-resistant plastic paper, divides Mexico north/south with a generous overlap between the sides. Coverage extends south to include the whole of Belize, most of Guatemala (well past Guatemala City) & north-western Honduras including Tegucigalpa. Cartographic information provided by Reise Know-How has been adjusted to follow the house style of the NGS Adventure series with greater emphasis on the country’s topography. Altitude colouring in broader bands has been replaced here by contours at 200m intervals, enhanced by relief shading with graphics for swamp areas, mangroves, seasonal rivers & lakes, & along the coast coral reefs. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are very prominently highlighted. Road network indicates toll routes,

Includes:: selected local roads & tracks, & shows border crossings & distances on main routes. Railway lines are included & local airports are marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Symbols indicate numerous places of interest, including UNESCO world heritage sites, castles & archaeological sites, etc. The map has a latitude & longitude grid at intervals of 2° & an extensive index of localities. Overall, the NGS map presents a more vivid picture of the country’s topography, whilst the original RK-H version provides clearer information for touring the country by road or rail.PLEASE NOTE: to ensure regular supplies & faster delivery to our customers we keep as regular stock the Reise Know-How edition whilst the NGS version can be ordered on request.
