SLOVAKIA RAILWAY & ROAD MAP. Slovakia, formerly the eastern portion of Czechoslovakia, is developing rapidly now that it has adjusted to independence. This map, on a very large sheet of paper, provides a very detailed picture of a mountainous, land-locked country that is largely rural and relatively lightly visited. Much of central Slovakia is protected parkland, making the country attractive to recreational activities. For this, a detailed map is necessary, and this one is perfect. Scale 1:300,000. 1st Edition.
