To the north is the Black sea with the Mediterranean to the south. A system of layer colouring is used to show relief, overlain with specially designed symbols which indicate the great physical diversity of Turkey. Areas of salt lake, dry salt pans, rocky desert and ancient lava flows are all included in the base information.;Based on the most up-to-date source material, all communications are clearly depicted, including the new motorways around Istanbul.
