This two-sided map easily outperforms other maps that are commercially available either on-line or in stores. The only map that comes close is the Afghanistan map in the Nelles Maps series, and the legend of the Nelles map cuts out the areas in Pakistan bordering the Afghan provinces of Paktia and Paktika, where considerable military action is taking place. This map serves as an outstanding teaching tool, enabling teachers to physically show the range of Pakhtun territory without sacrificing detail of topography and settlement. As a bonus, the map shows a substantial chunk of northern and western India, including all of Kashmir, all of Punjab, and parts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Afghanistan does not exist in isolation, and this map is a good starting point for exploring Afghanistan's connections to the rest of the world. One hopes that the "limited availability" of this map does not indicate that it is no longer in print. Otherwise one is left with detailed maps of an Afghanistan detached from its neighbors or with the useless, data-poor, primary-color maps available on the web.
