It is the only one from the set of medium scale base maps, which displays the subjects of the map also outside the territory of the Czech Republic, it concerns all bordering map sheets of ZM 50. It shows a relatively large area in sufficient detail and therefore it is long-term the most used map base in the modified content versions for various thematic maps.
