General map with plans of Tripoli & Benghazi, an enlargement for the environs of the capital, & an administrative map of the country. The map does not cover the whole of Libya, but only the coastal area & the western part of the country, extending south to just beyond 26º (i.e. most of Marzuk & Al Kufrah provinces are not included). The country’s topography is very attractively presented by contours with relief shading & spot heights, indicating wadis, saline mashes & intermittent salt lakes, wells & oasis, sand & stony deserts, lava-fields, tree savannas & grasslands. Six different types of roads plus tracks are shown with petrol stations, service stations, intermediate driving distances, & road numbers on main roads. Also marked are border crossings, airports & airfields, shipping lines & ports, & railways, but the map provides no details of the country’s oil industry & has relatively less tourist information than on other maps. Longitude & latitude lines are drawn at 2º intervals & the multilingual legend
