Wegenkaart - Landkaart Turkmenistan Afghanistan - ITMB Map

De ITMB kaarten kenmerken zich door een kleurrijke en volle cartografische weergave. Het zijn degelijke kaarten, zeker voor gebieden waarvoor kaarten lastig te krijgen zijn, met aanduidingen van onder andere nationale parken en natuurgebieden, vliegvelden, toeristische bezienswaardigheden en een goede aanduiding van het wegennet. Daarnaast bevatten enkele kaarten ook stadsplattegronden (hoofdsteden of belangrijke centra). Bevat voor sommige landen ook aanduidingen in de orginele taal. These three countries, bordering on Afghanistan, Iran, and China, have proved to be remarkably stable in a very volatile part of the world. They constitute the heart of Central Asia; a bit difficult to reach, but definitely suitable for adventure travel. Turkmenistan occupies one side of the sheet, and the other two smaller countries share the other side at a better scale. Turkmenistan stretches from the Caspian Sea to a major river (the Amuder) that forms its eastern boundary with Uzbekistan and its border with Afghanistan. An inset map of the capital just north of the Iranian border, Ashgabat, is included. The other side concentrates on the mountainous western Himalayan peaks, which are largely unexplored by outsiders. This is a region of trekking trails rather than highways, although the fabled Great Silk Road goes right through the middle of the map, from Kashgar in China to equally fabled Tashkent. Branches also go to Konduz, in Afghanistan, and to Dushanbe, while the northern route is shown as well (the Silk Road having several alternative routes). This side is still showing signs of the Soviet era, with Russian names occasionally appearing. No doubt, these are being changed over time. This is a very interesting map, of an of-the-beaten-track part of the world. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, international and national airports, points of interests, mines, silk road, streams and rivers, museums, mosques, national parks, ruins, caves, border crossings, and other information.
