Good quality map of Afganistan & surrounding area?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Good quality map of Afganistan & surrounding area?

Posted: 9/26/2001 9:18:31 AM EDT

We all pretty much know that before too long,
things are really going to pick up over there.
I'd like to find a link to a good map of
Afganistan and it's major/minor cities (stonepiles?) that also shows the surrounding
countries - something I can refer to when I
hear news updates on the radio at work, or at
home. Somebody here has to have already found
one. Can anybody help?

I'd like to find one of these also. I thought I saw someone with a political vector map of Afghanistan, but I did a search for it and can't find it.

For some reason this pic only shows as a red X. Try the link instead:

I would also like to see some better maps of the area.

I'm betting good quality topo maps of Afghanistan will become collectors items, and bring pretty good prices. [}:D]

Soon to be - Elevation 30' BELOW sea level - EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!
