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.

More maps and infographics with the option to use filters can be found in the ecoi.net search: Afghanistan maps on ecoi.net. Please note that the recognition of text in graphical documents such as maps often does not work well. This means that place names often can't be found in the full-text search, even when the name is visible on a map.
