Description: Map of the Weser watershed in northwest Germany, showing largest cities, islands and river names. Large city names (6) have been re-labeled with font-face Arial or Arial Narrow, as font-size 9 or 10; the island/region names are labeled in italic font. Germany contains over 3,500 cities/towns, but they are evenly dispersed around the main towns. This map has locator code "GermanyWeser" for use in map-locator templates, such as English Wiki Template:Location_map_GermanyWeser & Template:Location_map_skew (which skews northern coordinates for multiple map markers / labels, skew=0.91). The latitude/longitude coordinates are NOT equirectangular, with longitudes converging from south to north by 91% closer: the longitudes at bottom range exactly 8-12 degrees, but at top, range 7.75-12.25 degrees apart. The latitude is calibrated for exactly 50-54 degrees N. The original map image has a GFDL license; the extensions are as follows: narrowed 144px as 370px to magnify 28%; some river names have been added; bolded names of largest towns to be readable as 220px thumbnail size; added towns: Celle, etc.
