Geography of Europe's Land and Cultural Features
This map shows all of the major cities and highway systems of Europe. City locations are indicated with symbols that are sized according to the city's population. Major highways are marked on the map as red lines, and E roads, A roads, and Motorways are marked with green route number signs. Country boundaries are solid magenta lines.
Major mountain ranges such as the Alps, Carpathians, Pyrenees, and Urals stand up boldly in shaded relief. Many other mountain ranges are visible in shaded relief and are marked by name.
Ocean and Freshwater Detail
The Europe Political Map shows ocean depths with blue color shading. Shallow areas are marked with pale blue colors and deeper areas are darker blue. This allows you to easily see that the North Sea and Barents Sea are very shallow, which is why they can support oil and natural gas drilling. Europe's many important rivers, inland lakes, and the Fjords of Scandinavia are visible on this map. In some areas like the Aegean Sea or the Croatian coast on the Adriatic Sea, there are large numbers of islands.
About the Geography of Europe
Europe occupies the western portion of the landmass known as "Eurasia". It has a broad land connection to Asia, the other half of the Eurasian landmass. Europe and Asia are unusual as continents because of this broad connection. In addition, many islands in the Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, and other bodies of water are considered to be part of "Europe". Because of these broad boundaries, the area known as "Europe" is arbitrarily defined and subject to disagreement among scholars, geographers and nations.
A Great Map for Home Learning
One of the most valuable uses of a map like this is in the home. When you learn about an important event in Europe while watching the news or reading a news website, you can find the location on the map.
