Western United States at 1:3, 500, 000 on a map with bright colouring & graphics for national parks providing a very effective presentation of the region’s topography without obscuring the road network; plus street plans of main cities & coverage of Alaska. On one side is a map of western USA, extending east to Houston, Kansas City & Minneapolis, so overlapping with the publishers’ map of the eastern half of the country. Coverage extends south in Mexico to Durango & the whole of Baja California, & in Canada north to Edmonton & Jasper in the Rockies. Relief shading & colouring show the topography, with plenty of names of mountain ranges, peaks, deserts, etc. The region’s numerous national parks or other protected areas & Indian Reservations are prominently highlighted & the map very clearly shows how time zone boundaries do not always correspond to state borders. Road network, presented with clear numbering of national & state highways, shows driving distances on main & connecting cross-state routes. Scenic routes are prominently highlighted. Railway lines are included & domestic airports are marked. The map also indicates various places of interest & towns worth visiting. The map has no index. Map legend
