Description
The map coverage of Kazakhstan extends well beyond the country’s boundaries to include the other four Central Asian countries: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, as well as part of western China, northern half of Afghanistan and a large part of Iran.
The map shows the area’s rail and road networks, including dirt tracks, and gives driving distances on major roads. Local administrative boundaries are marked and names of provinces are shown. All place names are transliterated (i.e. written with latin lettering), alternative name versions are provided where necessary, particularly in the border areas.Index of localities is on the reverse of the map
Detailed topographic information includes names of mountain ranges, deserts and other geographical features, spot heights, swamps and salt flats, glaciers, etc. National parks are highlighted. The multilingual map legend includes also English.
This geographical edition has altitude colouring with elevation tints (hypsometry) to provide a plastic picture of the area’s topography. But we have also the s.c. political version of the Kazakstan map
