AFRICA

Pictured below are just a few examples of the modern African maps contained in the Map and Imagery Library's collection. Further images and information will be added in the near future.

	Rwanda and Burundi A 1996 example of a series of shaded relief maps of individual countries published in the 8 1/2 X 11 format by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Call# G 8430 1996 .U51 NB.
	Uganda A 1995 example of a series of general maps of individual countries published in 8 1/2 X 11 size format by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Call# G 8420 1995 .U5 NB.
	West Africa Coasts of Southern Mauritania and Northern Senegal Partial reproduction of a large 1997 regional nautical chart produced by the US National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). It is used to show the ocean depths as one approaches Goree Island by sea. This type of chart is available for most coastal areas of Africa. Call# World Nautical Chart #51480.
	Port of Dakar and Baie De Goree, Senegal Partial reproduction of a detailed 1996 nautical chart, US National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). It shows the relationship of Goree Island to Dakar with ocean depths and port facilities. This type of chart is available for most coastal areas of Africa. Call# World Nautical Chart #51559.
	Dakar This map is part of a multi-map set of Senegal at the scale of 1:125,000. It is a topographic map showing physical relief by contour lines, which are lines that connect equal points of elevation. Topographic maps are the most produced type of map, and are available at different scales and dates. The Map & Imagery Library has an extensive collection of regional and detailed topographic maps of countries in Africa. This particular map is designated as AMS Series G621, and was published in 1942. An older topographic map was chosen as it showed Goree Island in more detail than our most current series.
