This map is color–coded to show general elevations from sea level to over 6,500 feet, mountain systems, drainage divides, lakes, rivers, coastal features, and the major ocean currents with direction of flow given. The area to the north of the Caspian Sea that lies below sea level is shown. The temperate isotherm of mean annual 70° and the cold isotherm of 32° are given in Fahrenheit. This map shows the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, the North Sea, Baltic, Mediterranean, Adriatic, Ionian, &Aelig;gean, Black, and Caspian seas, coastal features, volcanoes, prominent peaks, and major rivers, as well as the physiographic regions of plateaus, basins, lowlands and highlands, and the watershed drainage divide.
