Where in the World Is Matt Lauer? Maps of Istanbul in University Libraries

Maps of Istanbul, Turkey Available in GRMC

Istanbul, Turkey is the fourth destination of the Today Show’s “Where in the World Is Matt Lauer?” adventure. Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey is where “East” meets “West.”

The Geospatial Resources & Map Collection contains several maps of Turkey and the city of Istanbul specifically. Lonely Planet Istanbul is an excellent map for tourists and includes a telephone directory, suggested walking tour, and a Turkish-English glossary. The map features inset maps of Old Istanbul, central Istanbul, and the Topkapi Palace. Turkey Tourist Map, created by the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, shows relief in shading, an inset map of Turkey in Europe, and distances from the airport. Isztambul, Terkep is another interesting map of the city printed in Hungarian, German, English, and French.

The Atlas Collection also includes several atlases and guidebooks about Turkey, including Turkey: Lonely Planet Travel Atlas. This guide is printed in English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese.

Maps can be borrowed for two weeks or longer. Atlases check out for four weeks.
