A detailed topographic map of Annandale from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Annan, Lockerbie & Beattock. Edition A1; Publication date August 2006 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked.

The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&.

The Explorer maps offer a substantial improvement on the Pathfinder series, with greater use of colour, larger area per map, & stronger emphasis on information for ramblers & tourists. This series is ideal for walking & other outdoor pursuits & each map shows a large amount of information for ramblers & tourists. Public rights of way are shown (except in Scotland), together with other routes with public access: National Trails & Recreational Paths, permitted paths & bridleways, & selected cycle routes.

Schneider & now edited by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung). The map covers the whole of the Annapurna Circuit, extending from Pokhara to Muktinath & Jomosom. Contours are at 100m intervals. An overprint highlights the route of the Annapurna Circuit, but no other tourist information is provided. The map has 10-km UTM crosshairs, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 15’. Map legend is in English. Current edition of this map was published in 2005. Traditionally referred to as “the Schneider maps”, titles in this series cover Nepal’s most popular trekking regions at 1:50, 000 or 1:100, 000. The maps were originally prepared by the Austrian climber & cartographer Erwin Schneider & for nearly five decades provided the best & often the only coverage of these areas. Now sponsored by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung), the maps are still"ed in most trekking guides to Nepal. Most maps have contours at 40-m intervals &, with bold relief shading & colouring for the glaciers, provide a vivid representation of the terrain.
