Civilian and military topographic map series of Spain showing roads, tracks, footpaths, boundaries, water features, vegetation, cultivation, swamps, buildings and built-up areas. Relief shown by contours, shading and spot heights. Depths shown by contours.
The Instituto Geografico Nacional (IGNE) maintains the civilian "Mapa topografico nacional", while the Servicio Geografico del Ejercito (SGE) pubishes the "Mapa militar serie L". The two series share similar sheet lines, and both now use the Universal Tranverse Mercator (UTM) projection, but employ different sheet numbering systems. Complete coverage of Spain in the civilian series was reached in 1968, using the Lambert polyconic projeciton, and from that date was recast onto the UTM projection (internatioal ellipsoid). Both old and new series include the Balaeric and Canary Islands. The military series Serie L was completed in 1986. From 1992 the SGE began a digital 1:50,000 map, and the digital data was shared subsequently with the IGNE, hence the designation "digital edicion".
From 1886-1920, compiled by Cuerpo de Estado Mayor del Ejército ; edited by Depósito de la Guerra.
