The map is printed on light, waterproof & tear resistant plastic paper. On one side a topographic map with contours at 20m intervals & altitude colouring covers Mount Fuji & the area mainly to the north of it, including Lake Yamanakako, Lake Motusuko & Lake Saiko, with coverage extended further north beyond Lake Kawaguchiko by one of the panels on the reverse side. Hiking routes are highlighted & annotated with ascent & descent times shown in detail for sections of the routes. On the reverse approaches to the summit of Mount Fuji from the north, east & south are shown enlarged to 1:25, 000, with the summit area itself presented at 1:10, 000. Also provided is a circular diagram showing names of other mountains & localities visible from the summit of Mount Fuji. Another panel at 1:50, 000 shows hiking routes around Mount Ashitakayama to the south of Mount Fuji. A further panel provides a road map at 1:300, 000 of the surrounding area indicating which sections of it are covered by the more detailed maps described above.

Map No. 820, Mount Hood & Willamette National Forests in Oregon, in an extensive series of GPS compatible, contoured hiking maps of USA’s national & state parks or forests & other popular recreational areas. Cartography based on the national topographic survey, with additional tourist information. The maps, with most titles now printed on light, waterproof & tear-resistant plastic paper, highlight walking trails along with campsites & other accommodation, picnic sites, areas for various recreational pursuits such as horse riding or skiing, drinking water sources, & many other facilities of interest to the outdoor enthusiast. Cartography is based on information from the USGS (United States Geological Survey
- the country’s national survey organization), revised by the National Geographic Maps in cooperation with the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, etc. Topography is excellently presented by contours (interval varies according to scale), enhanced by relief shading & colouring/graphics for wood cover, glaciers, etc. All heights are given in feet. The maps have a UTM grid plus latitude & longitude margin ticks & GPS waypoints for selected important locations. Each map is double-sided to give either maximum coverage of the chosen area or additional enlargements of its important sections. Accompanying notes provide useful information on relevant regulations, safety precautions, contact addresses, etc.* *IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: the series is very extensive, ranging in scale from 1:400, 000 for the vast national parks of Alaska to 1:25, 000 for local map in several states. We recommend, therefore, viewing the series by state rather than the whole list.*
