In the Congo basin many of the tributaries are named. Country boundaries are shown in contrasting colours. All place names are in English, except for selected cities such as Cairo, Tripoli or Algiers where the original names are shown first (El Quahira, etc) with the English equivalents in brackets. Where appropriate, administrative, legislative and judicial capital cities are indicated (e.g. Dar Es Salam/Dodoma, Johannesburg/Cape Town/Bloemfontein, etc). The map also shows the networks of main road and railway connections, airports, and oil fields with pipelines. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5? degrees intervals.
