This terrific atlas map of Portugal divides the country into six provinces. It extends to include Spain as far east as Madrid, but most of the detail is confined to Portugal. There is excellent topographical detail and plenty of towns, cities, and roads. Three distance scales appear below the simple circular title cartouche.
