      AIMS maps

      The Afghanistan Information Management Services (AIMS) several years ago published comprehensive and detailed maps on Afghanistan. The collection includes background maps, for instance on vegetation and weather or geology, as well as detailed maps on the districts (at the time). Unfortunately, these maps are no longer available online from AIMS. However, the links to the AIMS maps available on ecoi.net can at least in most cases be used in the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive to gain access to the maps there.
