The map shows boundaries and, where appropriate, subdivisions of officially designated natural regions, e.g. Harz: Oberharz / Unterharz, Lรผneburger Heide: Hohe Heide / Uelzener Becken / Harburger Berge / Lรผss, etc. Also marked are boundaries of historical landscape areas (Historische Landschaft) such as Rheinhessen or Oberschwaben, or industrial areas (Wittscheftlandschaft) Ruhrgebiet, Frรคnkisches Seeland, etc. All the areas marked on the map are listed in an index which gives for each entry its latitude and longitude. Map legend for the base map includes English; all other explanatory notes are in German only.
