Towns and villages of particular tourist interest are highlighted and symbols mark national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, temples, etc. The base map shows rivers, lakes and local waterways system and has spot heights for peaks, but the range of elevation colouring is too finely
graded to provide any useful information. No geographical coordinates are marked.The maps show the names and boundaries of local districts, indicating state capitals and district or tehsil administrative headquarters. Outside the state boundaries the colour range of the print is reduced, so only main roads are clearly visible.Please note: the various series of state maps of India often show different small villages, supplementing each other to provide a more detailed picture of each state.In this title: there are no street plans. Relief coloring provides a slightly more effective representation of the topography than on other maps.
