The Karta Mira consists of a total of 224 main sheets and 38 overlap sheets. They depict the entire earth land and water surfaces according to a uniform scale, coloring and drawing system. The Karta Mira 1956 1975 was produced by cartographers from Bulgaria , Czechoslovakia , the German Democratic Republic , Hungary , Poland , Romania and the Soviet Union. The production of a 1 2,500,000 scale map of the world had been discussed since the late 1940s, partly because many cartographers were dissatisfied with the work on the International Map of the World or Millionth Map , after its scale of 1 1,000,000 . Due to the destruction of the Central Bureau of the Map of the World in London during World War II , the Millionth Map had suffered a serious setback, and it was uncertain whether that series could ever be completed. The initiative for the production of the Karta Mira was taken by cartographers from Hungary Alexander Rad , Peter Halasz, E. Foldi, Istvan Joo , the Soviet Union Grigory A. Ginzburg . , Ilya Andreyevich Kutuzov and the GDR Erfried Haack, Horst Nischan, Manfred Pateisat . Production of the 262 sheets was divided between the Geodetic Services of the participating countries.
