Corsica North (Corse, France) Bastia - Corte 1:100,000 Hiking Map #175 IGN

This map #175 covers the northern half of Corsica, between Bastia and Corte. It is an exceptionally detailed, contoured road map, ideal for exploring the island by car, by bike, or even on foot. Used by millions of locals and visitors alike, this map provides an excellent balance between coverage of a sufficiently wide area and detailed road presentation, plus topographic information not found on other road maps.

Terrain presentation is sharp to make small local roads stand out excellently. Contour interval varies according to the terrain, from 10m along the coast to 40m in the mountainous areas, enhanced by relief shading. Additional colouring shows different types of vegetation or land use (woods, vineyards, orchards, etc). The map has a UTM grid for GPS users, plus a latitude and longitude grid at 15' intervals.

The map includes plenty of tourist information. For walkers the map has an overprint highlighting long-distance footpaths, the GR routes, making it an ideal supplement to topo-guides. A wide range of symbols mark various places of interest, sport and recreational facilities, mountain refuges, gîtes d'etape, etc. The map provides all the usual information found on topographic maps at this scale: peaks, glaciers, passes, names of mountain ranges and other geographical features, railways with stations, funiculars, ski and chair lifts, administrative boundaries, etc.

Map legend includes English.
