I used the designation "military map" as it is used by others on the
Internet.

If you do go there, perhaps you could tell me how much the map is, or how to
contact the shop. Thanks.

That is correct, a number of the other exclaves are a little further afield
and would have to be catered for by inserts (like the southern insert in the
map file I have). I don't know whether the entire map sheet would cover all

Would be interesting to know though.

Besides depicting an area of extreme interest, I find it is rather a
good-looking piece of cartography.
