Map Squares
The original sources for the place names in the GPN database are copies of the Survey of Ghana 1962 (1:500,000) and 1967 (1:400,000) Road Maps. The 1962 map lacks the changes caused by the creation of the Volta Lake and has some damage, but shows more places and so is given here. In the grid below are scans of half-degree squares from this map.
