The atlas maps show the full area of the park with access roads and adjacent areas, with alternative paths, camp sites (color-coded according to the managing company), location of bus stops & park rangers' posts, all in large scale detail. Terrain relief elevation contours are drawn every 20 meters.The map scale of 1:50000 (1 cm = 500 meters) provides a wealth of detail while keeping low the weight of the atlas itself.
