Details
Durable, laminated, tourist street plan with a comprehensive index and a road map of the Cape Peninsula - one of the many handy-sized Flexi Maps by this publisher, impressive for the amount of information packed in a small format. The main map shows Cape Town and Camps Bay and extends as far east as the Salt River railway station. Gentle hill-shading shows the relief in the adjacent slopes of Table Mountain. Detail includes pedestrian areas, one-way streets, car parks, railways, bus terminals and notable and public buildings. Colours distinguish parks and built-up areas, and a range of symbols denote various landmarks, monuments, museums, hotels, information centres, beaches, golf courses, sites of interest, post offices, churches, mosques, etc.
On the reverse is a 1:165,000 road map of the Cape Peninsula, (including the international airport) and a 1:2,000,000 general map of the wider environs of the western part of the province and southern Northern Cape. On these maps more symbols denote further sites of interest: cultural and historical sites, natural curiosities, protected areas and national parks, also various watersports locations. Hill-shading shows the general relief and some peak altitudes are marked. No latitude and longitude lines are marked on the maps.
All the maps are indexed for streets, districts, buildings, towns and places of interest as appropriate for the scale and level of detail, and throughout the coverage 31 major attractions are highlighted and provided with brief descriptions. Some general notes for tourists are also included ie. public transport matters, money, tourist information resources. A diagram of the Cape Town metrorail routes is included.
