This double hemisphere world map provides good detail of major cities and some topography. Several silver, gold and diamond mines are located in South America. A comparative view of rivers and lakes of each hemisphere is uniquely linked to the distance scale. An interesting graphical key to Geographical Divisions is tucked between the cusps of the hemispheres.
