Altai Mountains

A detailed topographic map, at a scale of 1:200,000, of the Altai Mountains in Russia’™s Kazakhstan. The low-contrast of the print reproduction makes some of the fine detail a little difficult to discern. Officially recognized un-surfaced tracks are marked on the map, as is the section of the M52 that snakes through the area. Relief is shown with contours at 40m or 80m intervals and spot heights, and topographic detail is plentiful, including glaciers and snowfields, seasonal rivers and rivers narrower and wider than 60m, heights and direction of flow of water features, cliffs, precipices, rock boulders (10m high), tumuli or knolls (5m high) and mudflats (impassable and passable). Mountain passes are indicated with height and the months during which they are passable. Latitude land longitude lines are shown at approximately 3.33’™ intervals. The map legend is in English. Place names on the maps are transliterated from Cyrillic. A brief outline on Russian mountain pass grades is given and a summary transliteration vocabulary list is provided.
