with colouring for woodlands, moors, marches, vineyards and hop plantations. Waterways and rivers are also described in detail, with currents, waterfalls, dams, and jetties clearly marked. Road network, graded into five types, highlights in colour national and regional roads; no driving distances are marked Railway network is also shown in detail, with stations, goods only lines, etc. The maps show administrative boundaries of states and counties, and have a UTM grid plus margin ticks for latitude and longitude at 2’ intervals.

cartography, but they are not necessarily the best option for holiday and business travel.To see other titles in this series please click on the series link.
