Details
One of the titles in a series of state maps of India produced with more modern style of cartography. The maps show road and rail networks, indicating intermediate distances on many local roads. Towns and villages of particular tourist interest are highlighted and symbols mark national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, temples, etc. The base map shows rivers, lakes and local waterways system and has spot heights for peaks, but the range of elevation colouring is too finely graded to provide any useful information. No geographical coordinates are marked.
The maps show the names and boundaries of local districts, indicating state capitals and district or tehsil administrative headquarters. Outside the state boundaries the colour range of the print is reduced, so only main roads are clearly visible. Each map is double- sided and includes an index of localities, street plans of main cities, a distance table and a route planner map of the whole of India. Each title comes with a small booklet with brief descriptions of main places of interest and colour photos.
In this title: street plans of Agra, Lucknow and Varanasi, plus general a plan of the whole of Delhi and NCR showing main roads and neighbourhood names. Enlargements show the Old Town of Varanasi, the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.
