Map No. C-13 in the ONC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:1, 000, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. ONC stands for Operational Navigation Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 1000ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each ONC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.

Map legend is in Danish only.PLEASE NOTE: although the covers of the maps show several more titles in this series, only those listed below are currently available. ...

Coastal regions of Greenland at 1:500, 000 on 12 topographic maps from Saga, with coverage of the central part of the western coast also available on two special sheets at 1:370, 000. Both scales have the same cartography as the publisher’s 1:250, 000 series but reduced to provide a wider coverage per sheet. The reduction means that some place names, symbols & fine detail are harder to read than on maps in the original 1:250, 000 series. Relief is shown by contours at 50m intervals, augmented by frequent spot heights. Main peaks are named, along with many other physical features e.g. bays & islands. Glaciers, moraine & low-lying coastal plains are also indicated & contours continue for a limited extent into the icecap region. The maps show settlements, roads, airstrips & heliports, anchorages & selected other landmarks. Lines of longitude & latitude are drawn at 1° & 15` intervals respectively. Map legend is provided in a separate leaflet. ...
