Spain: Catalonia Topographic Atlas

Topographic Atlas of Catalonia at 1:50,000 in a 262-page, A3, hardback format from the Institut Cartogrร fic de Catalunya, the region’™s official survey organization with beautiful elegant cartography and extensive index. The atlas, with its map legend and all other explanatory text in Catalan only (no Spanish), provides an excellent picture of the region’™s topography with contours at 20m intervals, hill shading and fine graphics/colouring to portray relief, terrain, vegetation types and landmarks. Boundaries of national parks and other protected areas are marked, as are internal administrative borders.Both road and rail networks are graded in detail, but please note that the current edition was published in 2004 so the atlas does not reflect any more recent developments. Also marked are long-distance GR routes. The maps have a 5-km UTM grid.The atlas has an extensive index which lists both towns or villages and geographical features. Also provides are an administrative map and an overview physical map of Catalonia.* PLEASE NOTE: the same cartography is also used in the ICC’™s series of folded maps, ‘œSpain: 50K Catalan Topographic Survey” offered on our website. These maps are regularly updated and include more tourist related information with an overprint highlighting long-distance GR trails and the Via Verde routes. Four different types of interesting locations are highlighted, indicating picturesque towns or villages, individual isolated building or monuments, natural sites, and hydrographic features such as waterfalls.
