Scope and Contents note
90 color maps, on sheets 100 x 155 cm or smaller, folded to 25 x 11 cm. or smaller.

Most maps at scale 1:1,000,000; Portuguese national maps at scale 1:400,000 or 1:500,000. Sheet numbers include 37 (14 editions), 38 (5 editions), 39 (8 editions), 437 (2 editions), 440 (3 editions), 733 (2 editions), 734 (6 editions), 794 (1 edition), 938 (4 editions), 939 (4 editions), 940 (1 edition) , and 990 (33 editions). Sheet 794 is printed on water-resistant and tear-proof material, identified as "haute résistance".
