Morocco is covered by a 1:100,000 and also a 1:50,000 topographical map series.
Some of the 1:50,000 series are unavailable to the public; travellers exploring wide
areas are advised to stick to the 1:100,000 series.
Although marked in Cyrillic script, 1:100,000 maps of Morocco made by the Soviet
military are as topographically accurate as any available.
The best place in Morocco to buy maps is Direction de la Cartographie (
