Symbols indicate locations of visitor centres, campgrounds, hostels, chalets and lodges, picnic areas, car parks, riding stables, etc. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 15’™.The whole of the reverse side is covered by extensive notes about the various aspects of the park, including its history, geology, eco-communities, wildlife, etc. Current edition of this map was published in 2000.
