This is the latest attempt by the Michelin mapping division to introduce
quality "European style" maps for the USA. It looks very promising indeed as
Michelin has produced this excellent detailed map of the region.
 
The map covers the area of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Southern Maine, Eastern New York and Northern
Pennsylvania. This map also includes that part of South Eastern Ontario
bordering on this region.
 
The map scale is 1:500,000 or 1 inch to (approx) 8 miles, the physical size
of this
folded map is 40" (North to South) X 43" (East to West) or 102 X 110cm.
 
The index has more than 6,500 cities, towns and villages. Shaded relief is
used in the fashion similar to the sectional Michelin maps of  Spain, Italy
and Great Britain. Individual county boundaries, distances between tagged
locations and the familiar green line boundary along scenic routes is used
with good results. Highways are clearly marked and interstates identified,
exit numbers are indicated in built up areas.
 
The legend is in English, French, Spanish and German and this map will
likely replace all the individual inexpensive (or free) state maps produced
by companies like Rand McNally or the individual State  tourism agencies for
the discriminating visitors to this region of the USA.
 
Some of  the extra features on the map are wineries, ski areas,
national/state parks and
monuments.
 
The price of this high quality map is  CND $ 5.00
