🗺️ Explore One of Africa's Least-Known Frontiers
This highly detailed double-sided map of Chad from International Travel Maps (ITMB) offers an in-depth look at one of Central Africa's most geographically and historically fascinating countries. Once part of French Equatorial Africa, Chad boasts a rich cultural heritage and strategic wartime legacy. It served as the launch point for General Leclerc’s legendary Free French march across the Sahara to Tunisia during WWII.
Today, Chad continues to intrigue travelers with its vast desert landscapes, nomadic cultures, and the ever-shrinking Lake Chad—once one of the largest lakes on the continent.
