This series of maps covers the whole of Papua New Guinea at a scale of 1:250 000 (1cm on a map represents 2.5km on the ground). Each standard map covers an area of 1.5 degrees longitude by 1 degree latitude or about 150km from east to west and 110km from north to south. There are more than 50 special maps in the series and these maps cover a non-standard area some also include imagery and additional narrative information. Typically, where a map produced on standard sheet lines is largely ocean it is combined with its landward neighbour. These maps contain natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and some administrative boundaries. Some maps are supplemented by relief shading.
