Description
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. The map is fully indexed.
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.
On this political version the altitude colouring has been omitted to provide a clearer background for the road and rail networks. If you prefer a map with a nice relief shown with traditional elevation tints, please study our geographical map of Kazakhstan.
