Details
General map with bold relief shading and bright colours indicating various types of terrain and vegetation. Road information includes seasonal routes and petrol stations. The map shows local aerodromes, hospitals and medical centres, various accommodation facilities, etc. A full place name index is included along with an administrative map of the country, a distance chart, and a basic street plan of Niamey. Latitude and longitude are shown at 2º intervals. Map legend is in French only.
NB. The map also shows the grid for the 1:200,000 topographic survey of Niger published by IGN. Detailed topographic maps of France's ex-colonies are now available only as reproductions from the IGN library, and in many cases special permits from the African governments are needed to purchase them. Costs vary, but are always considerably higher than for current topographic maps of this kind.
