Topographic

The island of Mayotte is administered as a French overseas territory, and mapped by official French agencies using slightly different specifications to mapping than the other independent islands in the Comoros group. The Institut Géographique National (IGN) covers Mayotte in two 1:25,000 scale sheets conforming to Série bleue specifications, on the UTM projection, International ellipsoid, and with 10 m contours.

Soviet military topographic mapping of Mayotte exists at the following scales: 1:1,000,000 (1 sheet, complete coverage, published in 1991); 1:500,000 (2 sheets, complete coverage, published in 1987) and 1:200,000 (4 sheets, complete coverage, published in 1985). These products are available in print, digital raster and digital vector GIS formats from East View Geospatial.
