Road detail distinguishes surfaced and unsurfaced roads, ill-defined routes and paths. Relief is shown by contours at 40m intervals, with additional spot heights and elements indicating escarpments, rock towers, sand, dunes, seasonally flooded areas, waterholes, cultivated land, and areas of palm trees and sparse vegetation. Hill ranges and wadis are named, and built up areas and border post are shown.
