Explore Europe
This is the latest addition to my physical map series of continents and large natural regions. These maps and others are available on my website for free .
Base map elements, including shaded relief, bathymetry, land cover, coastslines, lakes, rivers, and country boundaries, derive from Natural Earth v. 6.0. A variety of atlases and online maps were used to select physical feature labels. I favored localized names over English exonyms, except for features spanning more than one country, such as the Danube River. Names in Arabic, Greek, Russian, etc. are Romanized.
If you see any errors or have ideas on how to improve the map, please contact me.
