Sahara Maps/Morocco
 

Hi folks,

Travelling by camel from M'hamid to Chigagga in September and loooking for info on available maps. Got the Michelin 742, formerly the 959 and the Geocentre/Insight, both are a bit vague as to what happens after M'hamid, in fact neither show Chiggaga. I am sure there are maps out there that cover this bit of the Sahara,any suggestions ?

Happy travels,

Spez

If you look for maps about that area,
search for "US TPC" or "French IGN", both 1:500.000 and the french ones at 1:200.000

Don't ask me to remember which are the right tablet maps...

------------------

TPC maps are monsters - Tactical Pilotage Charts - they are physically huge and deal with vast areas. Many of them do not label physical terrain features.

Best topo maps are the UK/US military 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 series produced in the 60s - way out of date for roads etc but excellent for terrain features. Trouble is they are hard to get hold of. Also look for (again, UK/US military) Joint Operations Graphics charts. Again, hard to get, no reliable source, if you are in the UK check out surplus wholesalers or talk nicely to military friends.
